Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Facts and Treatment
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS is a fairly common disorder especially among women approaching middle age. Changes in the balance of female sex hormones may lead to an accumulation of fluid and consequent swelling in the wrist at the time of menopause.
A common cause is swelling due to an inflammation of the tendon and its sheath. This may follow repeated flexion of the wrist with hand held extended, as when using computers. It may also follow prolonged use of the wrist by arthritic patients using a walking stick. Carpal tunnel syndrome may occur during the last trimester of pregnancy or as part of the premenstrual syndrome, presumably due to fluid retention. Various metabolic diseases have also been described as a cause.
If you feel you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or know someone who does, call us for more information, and have them consult with their physician immediately.
