Carpal Tunnel Syndrome usually causes feelings of burning, pain, and tingling in the palm that radiates to the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. Some also report feeling swelling of the hand even when there is no actual swelling. But this can make picking up small objects difficult. Patients commonly experience weakness, and their hands aren’t working properly; they may be unable able use them at all or only partially - preventing them from doing certain things like writing or manipulating small objects. Obviously, this can seriously impact your life. In bad cases, untreated damage to the median nerve can result in permanent loss of hand movement.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a painful condition that can be caused by inflammation and misalignment of the tendons. Sometimes there are underlying problems, such as a previous injury or stress fracture.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can, in fact, be caused by many factors. Long-term use of vibrating instruments or repetitive motions with your hands and fingers, such as typing all day at work, are two common causes. The condition seems to come out of nowhere sometimes too-- metabolic disorders such as pituitary gland problems may contribute, and so could pregnancy. If you're overweight, that weight could put more stress on those delicate bones over time. If your Carpal Tunnel has no clear source, it’s probably due to an irritated nerve stemming from your spine.
