There's no obvious injury to my left hand.

My pinky finger keeps tinging, as does my index finger on the lower half and the bottom half of my thumb. Flexing my wrist doesn't hurt. My actual wrist doesn't hurt. What really hurts is when I flex my pinky finger downward, the tendon or ligament (whatever it connects to the wrist downward) hurts and feels Very Strained (reminds me a LOT of the pain I had when I Severely Strained my Bicep).

Any idea what exactly is going on? I thought carpal tunnel, but it doesn't exactly really fit the symptoms. Especially being able to flex my wrist up and down without any real pain (real pain is from flexing the pinky). Flexing my two middle fingers has no pain or anything. Flexing my index finger causes pain where it's tingling. Flexing my thumb doesn't hurt.

...what have I done to my hand?

(With all the random stuff that happens to me, I wonder if I should just become a doctor or something).

"Doc, it hurts when I do this."

"Then don't do that."
