Shoulder, Elbow & Hand FAQ

Carpal tunnel syndrome usually starts gradually, with an aching sensation in your wrist that often extends to your forearm or hand. Other symptoms that can indicate carpal tunnel syndrome include:

  • Tingling and/or numbness in your fingers or hand, usually felt in the thumb, index, middle or ring finger. The feeling gets stronger when holding objects such as a phone or remote control.
  • Pain extending the length of the arm, especially after repetitive use. The pain is usually felt on the palm side of your forearm.
  • A feeling of weakness in your hands, as though it's hard to get a firm grip on objects.
