What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that affects the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your hand. This nerve passes through a narrow passageway in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. When the tissues surrounding this tunnel swell, they can compress the median nerve, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms can vary in severity but often include:
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
- Pain in the wrist, hand, or forearm.
- Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grip objects.
- A feeling of pins and needles in the fingers.
- Burning sensation in the hand.
- Pain that worsens at night.

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Several factors can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome, including:
- Repetitive hand motions, especially those involving wrist flexion.
- Pregnancy.
- Arthritis.
- Diabetes.
- Thyroid disorders.
- Wrist injury.
- Obesity.
- Genetics.
