Numbness, Tingling or Wrist Pain?
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common nerve condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passage in the wrist known as the carpal tunnel. When this nerve is compressed, it can lead to numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers – often affecting daily activities and work performance.

This condition is especially common among office workers, new mums, and individuals with repetitive wrist movements.

Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel symptoms may vary in intensity but often include:

• Numbness in the wrist, hand, or fingers

• Wrist or hand pain that may radiate up the arm

• Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation

• Weak grip or difficulty holding objects

If left unmanaged, symptoms may worsen over time and affect quality of life.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Repetitive Wrist Movements

Prolonged typing, mouse use, and repetitive hand motions can increase pressure on the median nerve, making office workers and desk-bound professionals a high-risk group.

Pregnancy-Related Changes

Hormonal fluctuations and fluid retention during pregnancy may cause wrist swelling, leading to numbness and tingling in the hands, especially in the third trimester.

Medical & Lifestyle Factors

Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, obesity, and age-related joint strain can contribute to inflammation and nerve compression. Elderly individuals and those with long-term wrist strain are more susceptible.

LPG is a non-surgical, drug-free option that may help manage symptoms and support recovery. While it does not replace medical treatment in severe cases, it can be an effective conservative approach, especially in early or moderate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.


Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, often leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers.

Although symptoms may feel similar, they affect different structures in the wrist.
