What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful pain in the hands and wrists. The carpal tunnel is a narrow tube made by bones and other wrist cells. This tube protects our median nerve. The median nerve is attached to our thumb, middle and ring fingers. But when other cells such as ligaments and tendons swell or swell in the carpal tunnel, it affects the middle cells. This pressure can cause the hands to feel numb. In general, carpal tunnel syndrome is not a very serious disease. With treatment, the pain will usually go away and you will not have to face any problems in the hands or wrists for long.

Reason: Continuous working with one hand may cause carpal tunnel syndrome. It is most commonly found in people whose profession requires pinching or gripping with wrist twist.

It also includes people who work on computers, carpenters, grocery-checkers, laborers, musicians, mechanics, etc. Gardening, long working by needle, such as tailoring. Those who are fond of playing golf and running a boat can also suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is also related to other things. It can also be caused by an injury to the wrist due to fracture or some diseases like diabetes, arthritis or thyroid.

Treatment: If the carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by some kind of medical problem, then the doctor will first treat that problem. Then he will ask to rest the wrist or to change how you use your hand. It can also be said to tie a splint to the wrist. The wrist cannot be moved when wearing a splint, but can perform normal actions. Wearing it will give you relief from pain at night.

Without exercise your wrist can become stiff and you may not be able to use your hand. Doctors advise that you can take some medicines such as ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (olive), ketoprofen (Orodis) or aspirin to reduce pain. With this, the doctor can also inject you with a medicine like cortisone in the carpal tunnel. By this you will get rid of swelling, tingling and pain for some time.
