When the median nerve is irritated because of swelling and misalignment in the wrist, patients can start to feel sensations of tingling or inflammation throughout the hand. It's not unusual for patients to report they experience their grip weakening or that picking up small things isn't as simple as usual. Sometimes can even feel the sensation their hands becoming inflamed when their median nerve is irritated, even though there is no inflammation. Carpal tunnel often begins in an individual's dominant hands, but symptoms can affect both hands.
Alas, many healthcare professionals attempt to treat the pain where it is found, despite evidence that the root of carpal tunnel arises from a different region of the body. It's been proven that patients affected by carpal tunnel syndrome in the arms normally possess nerve distress originating in the spinal column. This is the reason why expensive medical procedures that attempt to solely treat the hands are ineffective in four out of ten surgeries.
