If it's not the CTS then what is it?

Around one week++ ago my forearms from shoulder downward feels very painful, something like lenguh2 like that. Then I thought my body is just tired and went for traditional massage.

For a day or two after that, I started to feel uncomfortable again from wrist downwards. It includes numbness, pins and needles. Still thinking it's nothing, I ignored the pain until it was almost one week and I could not bear the pain any longer and even when I took painkiller also it doesn't work. That was then that I started to search for anything that suit my case and that was when I discovered about carpal tunnel. Went to the doctor next day and since it was only one week he doesn't think it's carpal tunnel syndrome and think that the main cause might be because I slept wrongly causing the nerve system to compressed. He gave me N-cobal and said if it's not gone/worsen in two weeks then it might be cts and he'll refer me to the hand specialist.

However, from his explanation cts does not effect the pinky finger but as for my case all of my fingers hurts especially when kena aircond or fan, around 6-7pm and waking up in the morning. Sometimes when I'm doing a "grabbing motion" with my hands I can hear my fingers cracking and this morning is worst cos I feel pain in the bone. Idk if that makes sense to you and when I scratch the skin around that area it's as if the area is very thin and sensitive it hurts.

Okay maybe the doctor is right about me sleeping wrongly but I just want to know if there's other possibilities?
