Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

People who perform repetitive motions using their wrists, hands and fingers may develop carpal tunnel syndrome. The space in the wrist narrows, putting pressure on the median nerve and tendons. Swelling occurs, leading to numbness, tingling pain and diminished feeling in the fingers.

Conservative management of left-hand numbness due to carpal tunnel syndrome includes using a wrist splint, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and receiving cortisone injections. Heat treatments and exercises may also help. A surgical procedure is available for severe cases.5‘Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Risk Factors, Symptoms & Treatment.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4005-carpal-tunnel-syndrome
