Working Safely The boom in computer use has spawned an epidemic of repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, a potentially disabling disorder of the wrist, hand and arm. You could be at risk if you to do repetitive tasks with your hands for long stretches of time. C omputer users, cashiers, assembly-line workers, meatpackers, sewing machine operators and musicians often get the same injury. What they all have in common are jobs that involve using their hands in repetitive motions that put a strain on the tendons of the wrist. The result is a debilitating disorder called carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which affects hundreds of thousands of Americans and costs employers billions of dollars a year. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, repetitive stress injuries, including CTS, are the fastest growing occupational illness. The median nerve can become compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel, causing pain and numbness and impairing movement of the hand and fingers.

Nerve compression is often associated with repetitive activities (e.g., typing, painting, hammering) that cause stress injury, swelling, and inflammation. The carpal tunnel is a canal in the wrist through which fibrous connective tissue (tendons), nerves, and blood vessels pass. The transverse carpal ligament covers the carpal tunnel.

Find a job NEUROMEDICINE Family guide topics Neurological Surgery Carpal tunnel syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a painful syndrome that involves the hand, wrist and sometimes arm. It is seen more often in women than men and usually occurs between 40 and 60 years of age. Several nerves travel from the spine, down the arm and into the hand which allows fine movements of the hand and fingers (i.e. handwriting, buttoning and fine coordination). One of these nerves, called the median nerve, is the one most affected in CTS. The median nerve travels through a very small space at the wrist, called the carpal tunnel. The nerve is surrounded by the carpal ligament, which is a thick band of fiber that gives strength and support to the wrist and hand. When this carpal ligament hardens, the nerve is pressed into the small space of the carpal tunnel. The nerve then becomes trapped in the tunnel, causing the symptoms you may experience. Signs and symptoms Numbness in the hand and/or fingers which often occurs at night and may awaken the person from sleep.

What causes CTS and who is more likely to develop it? How is CTS treated? ... What is the best way to prevent CTS? What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)? CTS has become more common in the U.S. and is quite costly in terms of time lost from work and expensive medical treatment. The U.S. Department of Labor reported that in 2003 the average number of missed days of work due to CTS was 23 days, costing over $2 billion a year. It is thought that about 3.7 percent of the general public in this country suffer from CTS. What are the symptoms of CTS? Typically, CTS begins slowly with feelings of burning, tingling, and numbness in the wrist and hand. The areas most affected are the thumb, index and middle fingers. At first, symptoms may happen more often at night. Many CTS sufferers do not make the connection between a daytime activity that might be causing the CTS and the delayed symptoms. Also, many people sleep with their wrist bent, which may cause more pain and symptoms at night. As CTS gets worse, the tingling may be felt during the daytime too, along with pain moving from the wrist to your arm or down to your fingers. Pain is usually felt more on the palm side of the hand. Another symptom of CTS is weakness of the hands that gets worse over time. Some people with CTS find it difficult to grasp an object, make a fist, or hold onto something small. The fingers may even feel like they are swollen even though they are not. Over time, this feeling will usually happen more often.

BodymindResources.com Theory : Carpal Tunnel Click on the scientist to go to the Carpal Tunnel Lab Welcome to Bodymindresources.com’s class on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Today we will be discussing the anatomical occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrists, what we can do to prevent it and treat it. Let’s begin. What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that occurs when too much pressure is placed on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is a small passageway through which the median nerve, as well as the tendons that operate the thumb and fingers must pass. The location of the carpal tunnel is right at the base of the palm and wrist and it creates a tight fit even in a healthy structure. Sometimes, through repetitive and improper use of the hand and wrist, the tendons can become inflamed. When the tendons swell within the tight carpal tunnel, there is no longer enough room for everything to fit comfortably and this places pressure on the median nerve. This pressure creates tingling and loss of feeling in the hand. It can also inhibit your ability to pinch you thumb to your fingers.

I had been having some soreness in my wrist, from mouse use and fishing.
