Contributing factors to this syndrome can be the anatomy of your wrist, health problems, and repetitive motions. Proper treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain relief and restoration of hand and wrist function.
Carpal tunnel has a gradual beginning and can cause numbness and tingling in the fingers which come and goes. It may also cause discomfort in your wrist and palm of your hand, as well as weakness in the hand where you may occasionally drop objects. Causes of carpal tunnel may include a wrist fracture which may irritate the nerve or rheumatoid arthritis which causes swelling and inflammation.
