Trigger Finger
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a disease of the hand characterized by numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness. Carpal tunnel is also a narrow passageway of ligament and bones at the base of your hand. It contains nerve and tendons.
Causes of Trigger Finger
Positions of extreme wrist flexion and extension are known to increase pressures within the carpal canal and apply pressure on the nerve. Women are three times more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome than men.
Symptoms of Trigger Finger
You would feel numbness, pain (usually a burning pain), and tingling in your thumb, index, and middle fingers. Your hand would become very weak causing you to have difficulty feeling and handling small objects.
There will be tingling, numbness, or pain, whichmay move up your arm to your elbow
Treatment of Trigger Finger
Home care for carpal tunnel syndrome is straightforward and can often provide relief for mild cases of carpal tunnel syndrome. It is better for you to get a wrist splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position at rest.
