Medical practitioners will usually describe Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) as a common, painful disorder caused by compression of the nerve that passes between the bones and ligaments of the wrist. 

The typical carpal tunnel symptoms are described as numbness, tingling, and sometimes pain in the wrist and it may also show up as weakness and tingling of the first three fingers and thumb. 

People suffering from carpal tunnel symptoms usually complain of a tingling sensation of the palm surface of hands and first three fingers which could be on one or both hands and the symptoms are usually worse at night or when driving a car. 

However in some cases the symptoms also appear as a tingling and/or burning sensation and/or pain of entire arm, neck and hip, and thigh. 

Usually the carpal tunnel symptoms are accompanied by weakness in precision gripping with the hands and fingers and the symptoms gets worse with ongoing, repetitive use but is relieved when the person takes a rest. 

Symptoms may be intermittent or constant and are usually more severe at night and appearance/worsening of symptoms caused by flexing of the wrist for sixty seconds and relieved by extending the wrist. 

Dr Robert E. Markison, M.D., a hand surgeon in San Francisco says the condition has become epidemic with many millions of people suffering from carpal tunnel symptoms  caused by inflammation and injury in some part of their fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, or shoulders as a result of repetitive action at work, school, or play. 

The condition is most common amongst women over the age of 35 to age 60, and occurs more often in pregnant women, women taking oral contraceptives, menopausal women, or patients on hemodialysis due to kidney failure. 

People who perform repetitive, strenuous work with their hands e.g. carpenters, typists and keyboard operators are also likely to attract CTS. 

It is advised that if you feel any numbness or tingling in your arms or hands or have constant pain that interferes with your activities for more than a week, you should see a health professional to do a full examination to find out if you have CTS.
