Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This condition can result from repetitive hand movements, wrist anatomy, or health conditions such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term damage and loss of hand function.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

- Pain: Pain in the wrist and hand, which may extend up the arm.
- Weakness: Weakness in the hand, leading to difficulty gripping objects.

- Swelling and Stiffness: Swelling or stiffness in the fingers and wrist, particularly in the morning.
