Carpal tunnel symptoms occur because of compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist.
Carpal tunnel symptoms are characterized by pain and numbness of the thumb, first finger, and the half of the second finger.
Sometimes people will develop weakness and often the symptoms of carpal
tunnel are worse at night.
Carpal tunnel symptoms are common during pregnancy.
Carpal tunnel symptoms often do not lead directly to the underlying diagnosis and many symptoms can be misleading. Please review all concerns and information found on this website with your health care provider.
