CARPAL TUNNEL RELIEF

Symptoms usually begin gradually, without a specific injury.

Numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand are common.
An electric-like shocking feeling in the fingers or hand.
The thumb side of the hand is usually most involved.

Symptoms may occur at any time. Symptoms at night are common and may awaken you from sleep. During the day, symptoms frequently occur when holding something, like a phone, or when reading or driving. Moving or shaking the hands often helps decrease symptoms.

Sometimes strange sensations and pain will travel up the arm toward the shoulder. Symptoms initially come and go, but over time they may become constant. A feeling of clumsiness or weakness can make delicate motions, like buttoning buttons, difficult. These feelings may cause you to drop things. If the condition is very severe, muscles in the palm may become visibly wasted.
