Hello. This is the Department of Cork Anesthesia and Pain Medicine that helps solve the root cause of your wrist.
If you feel pain in your wrist and numbness in your palms and fingers, it may be a problem related to nerves, not blood circulation problems. A typical disease that causes this phenomenon is wrist tunnel syndrome, which accounts for about 1% of the total population in Korea.The disease often occurs in women in their 30s to 50s, and can occur on one or both sides. This is because the tissue that supports the joints of women is formed weaker than men. Let’s take time to find out about wrist tunnel syndrome, which requires help from Giheung Station orthopedics, and find out the treatment that can be considered in the future when this disease occurs.
1. What is wrist tunnel syndrome?
Wrist tunnel syndrome, which is often misunderstood as a blood circulation disorder due to numbness in the hands, is a disease caused by continuous pressure on static nerves at the wrist tunnel. The dominant factor in the disease is the induction of damage to peripheral nerves. Fingers with a lot of elaborate movement cause pain by reducing the sensation felt in the fingers when pressure is generated to push the nerves or tendons through the carpal tunnel. The median nerve mentioned here refers to one of two bundles of nerves that connect from the wrist tunnel to the fingers.
2. for proper diagnosis of the cause of wrist tunnel syndrome
It is difficult to explain the exact cause of wrist tunnel syndrome in Giheung Station Orthopedic Surgery, but theory suggests that many factors are responsible for reducing cross-section as carpal ducts contract.A number of possible factors at this time are median nerve damage. The median nerve can be damaged if it is continuously compressed, and at this time, problems occur in the thumb, index finger, and middle finger areas, making it difficult to feel the sensation and causing pain. In serious cases, you may not be able to feel sensation in your fingers chronically. The main cause is believed to be the thickening of the ligaments protecting the carpal tunnel of the wrist, which compresses the median nerve. An additional factor is long-term computer activity. Using a personal computer requires using a keyboard, but requires a lot of finger and wrist movement. It’s okay if you use it for a short time and rest, but if you use your fingers and wrists too much while using the keyboard, it increases the incidence of the disease.
