Mild carpal tunnel symptoms most often affect the hand and sometimes the forearm, but they can spread up to the shoulder. Symptoms include: Numbness or pain in your hand, forearm, or wrist that awakens you at night. (Shaking or moving your fingers may ease this numbness and pain.)
The carpal tunnel is a pathway located at the end of the palm. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), occurs when the (median) nerve between the forearm and hand is compressed. The median nerve sends impulses into the hand and allows the thumb and fingers - aside from the little 'pinky' finger - to contract. The prevalence of CTS is affected by genetics and one's every day lifestyle.
