What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the wrist and hand. The carpal tunnel is a narrow space inside the wrist. This space lets certain tendons and a major nerve pass from the forearm into the hand. Tingling and numbness are the most common symptoms of CTS. Some people may suffer from hand pain or a weakened grip.

Symptoms

• A dull ache in the wrist and forearm with pain radiating into the fingers  
• Tingling and numbness 
• Pain that is worse at night
