What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal stunnel syndrome is usually due to increased pressure in the carpal tunnel which is located at the front of the wrist. If pressure occurs in the tunnel, e.g. due to swelling, nerves and blood vessels running through the tunnel can get compromised, resulting in pain, tingling, numbness and weakness.
