Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition we commonly treat at MY PAIN CLINIC, a leading pain management clinic in Mumbai. CTS occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand and wrist, radiating up your arm.

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

    Repetitive Hand Movements: Repeatedly performing the same hand and wrist motions, especially if your wrist is bent down (your hands lower than your wrists), can increase pressure on the median nerve.
    Wrist Anatomy: Certain anatomical factors, such as having a smaller carpal tunnel, can increase the likelihood of nerve compression.
    Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or thyroid gland imbalance can increase the risk of nerve damage.
    Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause swelling, which can put pressure on the median nerve.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

    Numbness or Tingling: Usually in the thumb, index, middle, or ring fingers, but not the little finger.
    Weakness: You may drop objects due to weakness or loss of proprioception (awareness of where your hand is in space).
    Pain: Discomfort or pain in your wrist or hand, which can extend to your forearm.
