What Are the Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome often develops gradually, beginning with mild symptoms that may worsen over time. Key indicators to watch for include:
- Tingling or numbness:Â Many people experience a “pins and needles” sensation in the thumb, index, middle, or ring fingers. This discomfort often occurs during activities such as typing or holding a phone.
- Pain or discomfort:Â Pain may radiate from the wrist up the arm or into the palm. It can intensify during repetitive hand motions or at night, disrupting sleep.
- Weakness:Â Over time, the condition can weaken the muscles of the hand, making it difficult to grip or hold objects securely.
- Burning sensation:Â Some individuals report burning or aching pain in the hand and wrist.
These symptoms might initially be mild but can become more frequent and severe if left untreated.

Persistent hand and wrist pain should never be ignored, as untreated carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage.
