As time goes on one notices this more and more during the day and finally it becomes very painful. When this happens one may find relief at Chandler Pain Relief.
When one has pain of this kind it is usually diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Additional signs are not being able to pick things up easily and losing strength in the arm and hand muscles. This kind of pain is usually diagnosed as coming from the median nerve, located in the wrist.
The median nerve controls all sensation of one's thumb and some of the fingers as well as some muscles. When this nerve is compromised in some way, such as by constant stress, it causes an injury. This can occur on one or both hands at the same time.
The pain from this type of injury can not only affect the wrist and fingers but also go to the arm as well. However, there are other things that can cause this same pain and, as a result, it is sometimes misdiagnosed. Whatever the cause the pain is still there.
