Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common hand disorder characterized as tingling and/or numbness to the fingers or pain in the wrist and fingers. It occurs as a result of pressure on the median nerve. The median nerve supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to numbness, tingling or weakness in the hand and fingers. The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may even wake you up from sleep. In some cases, muscle damage can also occur.
