Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

a nerve in your wrist. A soft, spongy pad of tissue called the carpal tunnel protects the nerve from injury and keeps it from stretching. In most cases, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when swelling around the tendons in your wrist presses on, or compresses, the median nerve. This pressure causes pain, numbness, and tingling in your hand and arm. Many things can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, diabetes, and arthritis are among the factors that may contribute to the problem. Pressure on your median nerve can cause symptoms, including a dull ache in your wrist and hand or an electric shock-like feeling in your fingers and thumb. For most people, symptoms occur at night or when returning to an activity. Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome may include wearing a splint, physical therapy, and surgery, if necessary. It is important to diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome as soon as possible. If left untreated, your ability to perform activities of daily living and the quality of your life can be adversely affected.
