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.)
Once the carpal tunnel begins to collapse in on itself, any form of repetitive or static flexion such as typing, writing, grasping, etc., will cause friction of the flexor tendons against the carpal bones, median nerve and blood vessels, causing irritation, inflammation and increased swelling of the structures within the carpal tunnel.
