What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that causes numbness, tingling and possible pain in the hand and arm. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a compressed nerve in the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway on the palm side of your wrist.
The anatomy of your wrist, health problems and possibly repetitive hand motions can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.
