The Carpal Tunnel is a tight space within the wrist (carpus). It acts as a conduit for the median nerve, which receives sensation from the thumb, index and middle fingers and the tendons that control the fingers. Any swelling or change in position of the tissue around the carpal tunnel or the tendons themselves can cause irritation to the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome manifests itself as a tingling or numbness in the fingers and thumbs. It can also appear as weakness or clumsiness in the hands.
In addition to trauma there are many conditions that can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome including obesity, Arthritis, diabetes and inflammation of the tendons caused by repetitive stress injuries. Early symptoms often occur at night
The usual symptoms of carpal tunnel are tingling or numbness in the hand.
