Do you experience pain or tingling in your fingers? Are you feeling numbness or decreased sensation in one or both hands? Do you find yourself having trouble gripping or pinching? Is this affecting your sleep?
You may have carpal tunnel syndrome if you have any of these symptoms. The thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers are the most commonly affected. You may also have ulnar nerve compression which leads to numbness & tingling in the little and ring fingers. Nerve compression, if left untreated, ultimately leads to weakness of muscles of the hand causing muscle wasting and functional problems.
