— Understanding the condition —
What does carpal tunnel syndrome really mean?
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage at the base of the palm. Through it runs the median nerve, which gives feeling to the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. When the tunnel tightens or tissues inside swell, the nerve is squeezed. That is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
CTS is very common, more so in women, and often appears between 30 and 60. It is linked with repetitive hand work, pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid problems, and some types of arthritis.
“Pressure on a nerve is easiest to treat early. Mild CTS often settles with simple measures. If it is ignored for a long time, numbness and weakness may not fully recover.”
— Know the symptoms —
Common signs of carpal tunnel syndrome
CTS can affect one hand or both. If any of these feel familiar, it may be time to get your hand checked.
Tingling & numbness
Pins and needles in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger.
Worse at night
Symptoms that wake you, often relieved by shaking the hand.
Numb while driving
Numbness when driving, holding a phone, reading, or typing.
Burning wrist pain
Aching or burning in the hand or wrist, sometimes up the forearm.
Weak grip
Clumsiness, a weak grip, or dropping objects.
Thumb muscle thinning
In longer-standing cases, thinning at the base of the thumb.
— Causes & risk factors —
What can cause carpal tunnel syndrome?
Several factors can narrow the tunnel or swell the tissues inside. Some other nerve problems can cause similar tingling.
Repetitive Hand Use
Typing, mouse or phone use, sewing, tailoring, or tool work.
Pregnancy
Fluid retention swells the tunnel; it often settles after delivery.
Diabetes
Raises the risk of nerve compression.
Thyroid Conditions
Also linked with a higher risk.
Arthritis & Wrist Injury
Rheumatoid arthritis or past wrist fractures can narrow the tunnel.
Body Weight
Being overweight is a risk factor.
Family Tendency
Some people have a naturally smaller tunnel.
Look-Alike Conditions
A pinched neck nerve, elbow nerve compression, or B12 deficiency.

— Questions patients usually ask —
Common concerns, honest answers
At night, the wrist often curls while sleeping, and fluid shifts can increase pressure in the tunnel. That is why symptoms are often worse then, and why a night splint can help.
Mild cases, especially those linked with pregnancy or a temporary strain, can settle. Others persist or worsen. If symptoms last, get them checked.
Not always. It is often diagnosed by examination. Nerve tests help confirm the diagnosis, judge severity, and rule out other causes, especially before surgery.
It helps many people with mild to moderate symptoms, but it may not work for everyone. If symptoms persist, other options are discussed.
Carpal tunnel release is a commonly performed procedure and often relieves symptoms. Like any surgery it has risks, and numbness or weakness may take time to recover, or may not fully recover if the nerve was badly damaged.
It is uncommon but can happen. Your surgeon will explain the chances in your case.
Yes. Both raise the risk, so your doctor may check them.
Go straight away if you have sudden one-sided weakness or numbness with a drooping face or trouble speaking, a hand that suddenly turns cold or pale, severe pain and swelling after an injury, or a hot, red, swollen hand with fever.
