Overview: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. According to a 2012 article in The Open Orthopaedics Journal, CTS affects 3.8 percent of the general population. CTS causes tingling, numbness and pain in the thumb, index, middle, and thumb-side of the ring finger. Over time, it can also lead to weakness in your grip and pinch.
You may feel aching, burning, numbness, or tingling in your palm, wrist, thumb, or fingers. The thumb muscle can become weak, making it difficult to grasp things. Pain may extend up to your elbow. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve gets compressed at the wrist because of swelling.
