Did you ever feel tingling or numbness in your arms? Did it get worse with time? If yes, you may have to consult a doctor immediately because you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. What is carpal tunnel syndrome? CTS may happen when a nerve in your wrist is pinched. It occurs due to pressure on the median nerve- which runs through the length of the arm, goes through a passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel and ends in hand. In many instances, this is a result of a typical everyday activity that includes frequent use of vibrating hand tools, playing musical instruments or manual labor. It may also be caused by health conditions like hypothyroidism, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes.
