Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is pressure on a nerve in your wrist. It causes tingling,
numbness and pain in your hand and fingers. You can often treat it yourself, but
it can take months to get better.

CTS happens when the carpal tunnel inside your wrist swells and squeezes 1 of your
nerves (median nerve).

You’re more at risk if you:

 * are overweight

 * are pregnant

 * do work or hobbies that mean you repeatedly bend your wrist or grip hard, such
   as using vibrating tools

 * have another illness, such as arthritis or diabetes

 * have a parent, brother or sister with CTS

 * have previously injured your wrist

The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome often start slowly and come and go. They’re
usually worse at night. They most often include:

 * an ache or pain in your fingers, hand or arm

 * numb hands

 * tingling or pins and needles

 * a weak thumb or difficulty gripping

CTS sometimes gets better by itself in a few months, particularly if you have it
because you’re pregnant. But in other severe cases, it might need rigorous and regular
treatment.

and so the wrist after 3 months of follow-up for mild to moderate CTS.
