Conclusion based on EMG test was that the injections (cortizone or something similar) to alleviate inflammation would not be sufficient given the severity of my condition. And yes, the numbness should be in the thumb and first 3 fingers. Nature is really funny, the nerves for your pinky do not run thru the carpal tunnel, so of all the useless things, your pinky feels normal but the fingers you need are totally numb. Fucking evolution.
Good luck bro,
