5 Signs You May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Novena

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist.Here are 5 signs that may indicate you have carpal tunnel syndrome:

1. Numbness or Tingling - A common symptom is numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. This sensation often occurs during activities like typing, gripping objects, or at night.
2. Pain in the Wrist or Hand - Persistent pain in the wrist or hand, which may extend up the arm, is a sign. It can be mild at first but may worsen over time.
3. Weakness in the Hand - Difficulty gripping objects or a tendency to drop things due to hand weakness can be a result of muscle atrophy or impaired nerve function.
4. Swelling or Discomfort - A feeling of swelling in the fingers, even when no swelling is visible, or discomfort in the palm can indicate carpal tunnel syndrome.
5. Worsening Symptoms at Night - Symptoms often intensify during sleep due to wrist positioning, which increases pressure on the median nerve.

If you notice these signs persisting or worsening, consult a healthcare provider for an evaluation and potential treatment options. Early intervention can prevent further complications.
