Carpal tunnel syndrome is a specific group of symptoms that can include tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the fingers, thumb, hand, and occasionally in the arm. These symptoms occur when there is pressure on the median nerve within the wrist.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by conditions and activities that put pressure on the median nerve and decrease its blood supply, leading to tingling, numbness, pain, and/or weakness. Any of the following conditions or activities, or a combination of them, can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome:
When compared with other illnesses and injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common causes of absence from work.
The most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain of the fingers or, less commonly, the palm. Symptoms most often occur in the parts of the hand supplied by the median nerve: the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger. If your little finger is not affected, this may be a sign that the condition is carpal tunnel syndrome, because the little finger is usually controlled by a different nerve than the thumb and other fingers. You may first notice symptoms at night, and you may be able to get relief by shaking your hand.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is diagnosed based on your medical history, a physical exam, and sometimes further tests. In learning about your medical history, your health professional will want to know about health conditions you have, such as arthritis, hypothyroidism, diabetes, or pregnancy. He or she will ask about any accidents or injuries of the wrist, arm, or neck you may have had recently. Your usual daily activities and any recent unusual activities are also an important part of your medical history.
Your physical examination will include evaluation of the feeling (sensation), strength, and appearance of your neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands.
Your health professional may recommend further tests. These can include:
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Persistent pain in the knee, hip, shoulder or spine that limits daily activities, worsens with weight-bearing, and is unresponsive to medications.
Stiffness and inability to fully bend or straighten the affected joint, making simple tasks like climbing stairs or getting up from a chair difficult.
Visible swelling, warmth, and tenderness around the joint — signs of active inflammation or cartilage degeneration requiring specialist evaluation.
Crepitus — a grinding or clicking sound during joint movement — indicating loss of cartilage or presence of loose bodies in the joint space.
Visible joint deformity (knock-knee, bow-leg), leg length discrepancy, or a feeling that the joint may 'give way' under load.
Pain that persists or worsens at rest and disrupts sleep — a key indicator that surgical intervention may be required.
