<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I helped my girlfriend move in a couple weeks ago and after that, I would get occasional jolts of a tingling sensation when moving my arm. The sensation would go from the elbow up to the outer side of my pinky. But up until yesterday, it was so barely noticeable that I thought i might even be imagining it. 

But yesterday, I started noticing a strange sensation that would move around all over my hand when my elbow is bent for am extended time (using a calculator, texting etc.) so I did some research.

CTS supposedly only affects the pinky and half of the ring finger, but sometimes the sensation is in my thumb and index, and earlier the tip of my index almost went numb.

Also, CTS is supposed to cause elbow pain, but I'm not experiencing pain anywhere at all. Just a scary tingling that can't seem to pick a spot.

Also, I'd like to avoid the doctor at all costs, so if no one can solve the mystery, I have **one question:** is there a safe time period that I can "wait it out" to see if it resolves itself, or am I at high risk of nerve damage soon?
