Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway on the palm side of the wrist, houses the median nerve along with tendons that control finger movement.
Symptoms :
1. Numbness and Tingling : Individuals with CTS often experience numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers.
2. Weakness: Weakness in the hand and difficulty gripping small objects may occur.
3. Pain or Discomfort: Pain or discomfort in the wrist, palm, or forearm, especially during activities that involve the use of the hand.
