Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow channel in your wrist called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed. This channel also houses nine flexor tendons of the fingers. The compression can be caused by factors like tendon swelling or repetitive microtrauma. Common symptoms include tingling, numbness, or an “asleep” sensation in your thumb, index, and middle fingers, often worsening at night.
Key takeaways:
Mouse epicondylitis is outer elbow pain from repetitive mouse use. Repetitive mouse movements cause tendon damage, not always inflammation. Use ergonomic setup, take breaks, and support
