Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Published on October 28, 2016 by The Hand & Plastic Surgery Center of KatyIn today’s digital age, it’s no surprise that many of us spend a significant portion of our day typing on keyboards or navigating the compact screens of our cellphones. This constant, repetitive motion can slowly but surely take a toll on our hands and wrists, potentially causing damage over time. One of the most common conditions resulting from this type of strain is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a condition that, if left unchecked, can lead to permanent nerve damage.
Recognizing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome arises from pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. This pressure can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers. The early stages of this condition might present subtle symptoms, but they can significantly impact daily life as the condition progresses.
