Carpal tunnel syndrome is a collection of symptoms and signs caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Typical symptoms include numbness and tingling mainly in the thumb and radial fingers, aching and pain in the anterior wrist and forearm, and clumsiness in the hand.
Physical examination is mainly useful for ruling out other diagnoses.

I went to my local doctor and I use collage photo app to put words to explain as I have problem expressing so I shoe docotor the photo and they told me it's carpel tunnel syndrome and did the test where they made me bend my wirst together and it's feels like static and got diagnosed and going to the hospital this Thursday, hopefully I get a sleep splint or brace

My ring finger is numb only at the INSIDE tip area. Cant see logically if its ulna or median nerve.
@JTBayArea Жыл бұрын
When i did that my index finger went numb. Been having pain in both my wrist for 2 weeks now
@GelatinSkeleton Жыл бұрын
is it considered a positive test if the tests Relieve pain, not recreate it?
@paulandrew8539 Жыл бұрын
my index, middle and half of my ring fingers feels numb so bad, but no pain is experienced, as per my thumb, it feels normal, i did the test but none of the symptoms were triggered, except for the one thing that really triggers it, it is when i draw digitally. I feel really numb on my fingers that it bothers me because stretching won't really help. Am i suffering from carpal tunnel? It is a dumb question but i really dont have enough money for now to go see a doctor

At minute 2:48 I don't understand what the wasting... means. Can you explain in detail what I should be looking for at the base of the thumb. Thank you in advance. Dominique
@jamesfinnerty9182 3 ай бұрын
The muscle bulk between the base of the thumb and the wrist will be reduced (wasted). If the other hand is normal, then this is apparent by comparing the two hands.

I also got a foam typing pad. Most importantly I take breaks .. I follow the 40 20 rule.. work for 40 mins rest for 20 best of luck ♥️
