Puhhh, just got back form the neurologist - NO SURGERY.
He measured the nerv speed and indeed the nerv that is supplying the pinky and the ring finger is a little bit slower than normal. It is not the carpal tunnel nerv but the ulnaris. It seems as if the nerv is squeezed in the root of the wrist. But this is only "guessing"...until...
May 7 when I will have an appointment to make an MRT (magnetrsonancetomography) of the entire left wrist. On June, 2 I will see the doctor again and we will evaluate the tomographical pix.
He said it is nothing severe (he thinks it will disappear) and it does definitely not come from guitar playing :dude: "You have been playing for the last 20 years, so why should it appear now?"
The doctor is a piano player in a blues band and he told me not to punish myself with not playing guitar! "Just don't lift heavy stuff and watch your wrist when working on the computer...."
I helped my sister in law two weeks ago with moving and I was carrying all the heavy stuff, I must have moved the wrist in a wrong way.
I will keep you guys updated of course and I hope you still cross your fingers for that the symptoms disappear.
One more thing the doctor said was treat your body correctly, don't forget about vitamins, especially vitamin b.
SPUDMAN and I had a very long meeting on the phone yesterday regarding this issue, Spud offered me to call him. THANK YOU SPUD! It feels good to know that people here at the Fret really care about each other :bravo:

P.S.:
Anyways, please try to warm up yourselfs before playing longer sessions. I have linked a video in the other nerologist thread I wrote two days ago.
