Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition in which the median nerve in the wrist is compressed. The carpal tunnel or carpal canal is a fibro-osseous passageway in the wrist. Tendons and nerves pass through it. If any of the tendons swell or degenerate, they put pressure on the nerve, causing pain, paresthesia (burning, prickling, tingling on the skin), and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand
CTS is more common in women than men. It can occur at any age but is most common in the early 40’s. The risk of getting it sometime in one’s life is about 10%
Repetitive use of the hand / arm are often blamed for the onset of CTS. However, many doctors and researchers say the cause is idiopathic (unclear)
