What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

The carpal tunnel is an area in the wrist where nerves travel. When the tunnel is compressed, symptoms of numbness or pain in the fingers can occur. Common triggers include long periods of typing on keyboards, pregnancy, and diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Typical Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Diagnostic Questions for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you experience numbness in your fingers?
  • Do you feel tingling or prickling sensations in your skin?
  • Do you experience fatigue or low energy that is worse in the morning?
  • Have you been experiencing any numbness or tingling?
  • Are you currently on dialysis?

Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Mild cases can improve with painkillers and rest with a splint. Sometimes, a steroid injection to the carpal tunnel may be helpful. Severe cases may require minor surgery. Treatment continues with physical therapy to improve muscle strength and relieve symptoms.
