What Is Carpel Tunnel Syndrome & How To Identify It | ABP Health Live

The carpal bones on the bottom of the wrist and the transverse carpal ligament across the top of the wrist combine to form the carpal tunnel, an aperture in the wrist. The thumb and three middle fingers receive its sensory and motor abilities from the median nerve. You might experience symptoms if it becomes inflamed or squeezed.
It is important to take persistent hand and wrist pain seriously as it may indicate carpal tunnel syndrome. This results in swelling of the nerves in the wrist caused by pressure on the carpal tunnel, which in turn produces excruciating agony. Any vein that runs from the wrist to the arm could be compressed in this situation. As a result, in addition to hand pain, tingling in the wrists and difficulties using the hands may occur.
