What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. This pressure results in pain, numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers.
Over time, the symptoms can worsen, leading to weakness in the hand and difficulty performing even simple tasks. If left untreated, carpal tunnel syndrome can cause permanent nerve damage.
Common symptoms include:
- Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index and middle fingers
- Pain in the wrist or hand, especially at night
- Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grasp objects
- A burning or itching sensation in the palm
If you experience these symptoms, you should consult a doctor and consider your options for short-term disability benefits.
