Little by little, researchers are coming to understand what's behind the problem of trigger finger. Trigger finger (and trigger thumb) are conditions affecting the movement of the tendons as they bend or flex the fingers or thumb toward the palm of the hand.

You may be experiencing a problem called trigger finger. Trigger finger (and trigger thumb) are conditions affecting the movement of the tendons as they bend the fingers or thumb toward the palm of the hand. This movement is called flexion.

Little by little, researchers are coming to understand what's behind the problem of trigger finger. Trigger finger (and trigger thumb) are conditions affecting the movement of the tendons as they bend the fingers or thumb toward the palm of the hand. This movement is called flexion. The tendons that move the fingers are held in place on the bones by a series of ligaments called pulleys.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) causes pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness of the hand and wrist when the median nerve gets squeezed or pinched inside the carpal tunnel of the wrist. CTS is also referred to as nerve entrapment or compressive neuropathy. Any condition that decreases the size of the carpal tunnel or enlarges the tissues inside the tunnel can produce the symptoms of CTS.

You may have to ask the therapist that question since we don't know exactly what kind of treatment you had. It sounds like possibly a treatment method called neurodynamic technique (NDT). Neurodynamics is the study of how the nervous system slides and glides as we move. Nerves such as the median nerve involved in carpal tunnel syndrome can become pinched, obstructed, or bound down by scar tissue, swelling, or other soft tissues surrounding the nerve.

One out of every 200 adults in the United States suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Carpal tunnel syndrome has received a lot of attention in recent years because of suggestions that it may be linked with occupations that require repeated use of the hands, such as typing on a computer keyboard or doing assembly work. Actually, many people develop this condition regardless of the type of work they do.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common nerve compression problem in adults, so you might think with the number of people being treated for this problem that we would have a lot of data on it. But, in fact, there are far more studies investigating decision-making over joint replacements than carpal tunnel syndrome.

You may have to ask some indirect questions to find out more about what's on your mother's mind. Sometimes patients don't really know themselves. There may be some fear about the results, cosmetic appearance, risks, loss of function during the recovery period, and inability to care for herself or other family members after surgery.

Thinking about having surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome? Need some help deciding? Making a decision about the best way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome isn't always easy. The results of this study help point out patient concerns and considerations when mulling over whether or not to have surgery.

Well, we sympathize with your dilemma. With thousands of people affected by carpal tunnel syndrome every year (and around the world, not just in the US and Canada), this is a decision faced by many people. In fact, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common nerve entrapment problem affecting the hand.
