Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Do you have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)? A proper diagnosis is the only way to know for sure, but there are several common symptoms many individuals with CTS experience.

While some of these signs can also be linked to other conditions—particularly issues involving the cervical spine—when they occur together, they may indicate carpal tunnel syndrome.

Stiffness in the fingers
Pain or stiffness in every finger except the little finger
Tingling in the hand
Numbness in the fingers or hand
Pain between the hand and elbow
Pain or soreness that is relieved by shaking your hand
Tightness or numbness in the knuckles

Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

So, what actually causes carpal tunnel syndrome? At its core, CTS occurs when pressure builds on the median nerve within the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist that also contains important tendons.

Repetitive use or strain can lead to inflammation and swelling in this space, causing it to narrow. As a result, the median nerve becomes compressed, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and other uncomfortable sensations in the wrist and fingers.

Here are some of the activities and conditions that may cause carpal tunnel syndrome:

Repetitive hand or wrist movements, especially if the hand is lower than the wrists (typing, knitting, etc.)
Repetitive use of a vibrating tool
Manual movements that overextend your wrist ligaments, including piano playing
Illnesses such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis
Pregnancy
Fractures
High blood pressure
