Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Cannot Feel Hot or Cold
The pain someone feels when he or she touches something hot or cold is a defense mechanism that helps prevent serious damage to the body. For people with carpal tunnel symptom, however, it may not be possible to feel these sensations at all.
When the nerves in the hand become trapped or damaged, they can lose the ability to sense temperatures. This is potentially dangerous because it means a person may unknowingly cause terrible damage to his or her hands. Therefore, people with carpal tunnel syndrome need to take extra care when touching and handling objects.
