Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome symptoms can be felt in the hand, wrist and sometimes as high up as the shoulder. Severity of the symptoms depends on the condition of the person. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome symptoms may be mild and occasionially felt, but in some circumstances symptoms may become constant.

In extreme cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome a persons hand muscles may become permanently weakened and loss of feeling across the hand may occur.

As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In chronic or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away.

1. Tingling or pins and needles in the hands or fingers

3. Burning sensation in the hands or wrists

4. Difficulty moving wrist and fingers

5. Difficulty performing small finger movements such as writing
