New York Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Attorney
Do you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome?
The carpal tunnel is the space between the wrist bone and the tissues that provide joint support. In that tunnel is the median nerve, which receives sensations from the thumb, first and second fingers. Sometimes the tissue can swell and change, causing irritation, pinching or squeezing of the median nerve. This irritation can result in pain, tingling, numbness or other sensation in the thumb, first and second fingers of the affected hand.
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include:
- Numbness in the thumb, first, second and half of the third finger
- Tingling in the thumb, first, second and half of the third finger
- Burning
- Cramping
- Weakness
- Pain
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Cold hands
- Numbness in the hand at night
- Poor circulation in hands
- Decreased fine motor skills
Some sufferers of carpal tunnel syndrome can lose sleep over their condition. Some people are awoken several times every night due to pain, numbness, tingling or “pins and needles” in the affected hand or hands.
