Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition where the median nerve is compressed or squeezed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in your hand. To be exact, it is the narrow passageway at the base of the hand, near the wrist.

• Tingling or numbness in your fingers or the palm of the hand, feeling similar to pins & needles.
• Swollen and/or weak fingers making it difficult to grip as usual or hold items
• Pain that can radiate up the arm to the elbow or down towards your fingers.
• Weakness in the muscles of the hand

It is typical for the dominant hand to develop symptoms first.

Carpal tunnel is commonly caused due to excess pressure in your wrist and on the median nerve. This causes inflammation, when this happens, the inflammation can cause swelling.
