carpal
tunnel syndrome occurs when tendons
or ligaments in the wrist become enlarged,
often from inflammation, after being
aggravated. The narrowed tunnel of bones
and ligaments in the wrist
pinches the
nerves that reach the fingers and the
muscles at the base of the thumb.
The first symptoms usually appear at
night. Symptoms range from a burning,
tingling numbness in the fingers,
especially the thumb and the index and
middle fingers, to difficulty gripping or
making a fist, to dropping things.
Some cases of
carpal tunnel syndrome are
due to work-related cumulative trauma of
the wrist. Diseases or conditions that
predispose to the development of carpal
tunnel syndrome include pregnancy,
diabetes, and obesity.
