Index finger cold pain in wrist?

I'd bet it's Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Despite it's reputation, it's not just a yuppie disease, and if you let it go on for months or years with no treatment your hand muscles could atrophy.

Take Advil ((it cuts down on the internal swelling in the wrist that often causes this problem.
