Hi! Pain can be occur ed due to poor sleeping posture. But if it is coming up to your fingers then yes it's a sign of neural compression which if untreated can cause further complications. Better to consult a Physiotherapist asap and get it fixed. Home remedies will not majority work in it except hot packs as suggested by Dr. Neha. You need mobilization/manipulation of joints and nerves for which you will be requiring a good Physiotherapist consultation.
