Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly affects the wrists and hands. When you’re doing the same fine motor skill over and over—typing, say, or repetitive carpentry work—you can compress the median nerve that runs from your forearm to your palm.
Your symptoms might be a pain in the wrist or hand and/or tingling and numbness in the fingers, says Henry Dr. Goitz, MD, academic chief of sports medicine in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Detroit Medical Center Detroit Receiving Hospital.
