CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Definition :  Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. The condition occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand — the median nerve — is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. 

Symptoms :   

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may include:

1. Numbness, tingling, burning, and pain—primarily in the thumb and index, middle, and ring fingers
2. Occasional shock-like sensations that radiate to the thumb and index, middle, and ring fingers
3. Pain or tingling that may travel up the forearm toward the shoulder
4. Weakness and clumsiness in the hand—this may make it difficult to perform fine movements such as buttoning  your clothes
5. Dropping things—due to weakness, numbness, or a loss of proprioception (awareness of where your hand is in space)
