Do You Have Carpal Tunnel?
The injury causes pain and numbness in the index and middle fingers and “weakness” of the thumb. The carpal tunnel receives its name from the eight bones in the wrist, called carpals, which form a “tunnel” through which the nerve leading to the hand extends. If you have pain in your wrist, your fingers tingle at night, or you just can’t squeeze something, you may something called carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is an injury caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist. At this office we deal with pinched nerves—even the ones in your wrists.
