Carpal Tunnel Syndrome/ Exercises
Posted: 01-05-05 00:50am

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. if your are spending long hours in computer or you are typing for long hours, the probability of carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, shoulder pain is more. by doing some simple exercises we can avert carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain.

I accidentally cured my sever case of carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) by icing and compression while I was waiting for a surgery. The detailed info can be found in section 2 of http://www.Icuredmygout.Org . The method is safe and costs little. I have been cts free for about 3 years. According to my survey, it helped some others too. Good luck.
