Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Support Group
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist causing symptoms like tingling, numbness, night time wakening, pain, coldness, and sometimes weakness in parts of the hand. CTS is more common in women than it is in men, and has a peak incidence around age 50 (though it can occur in any adult).
Numbness, pain (usually a burning pain), and tingling in your thumb, index, and middle fingers
Tingling, numbness, or pain, which may move up your arm to your elbow
Hand weakness
Dropping objects
Difficulty feeling and handling small objects
I have had it for a few years now. I am currently using a pain therapy cream to rid the pain. It has been working for me. Let me know I you are interested in pain cream vs. pills that cause nasty side effects.
