Carpal Tunnel Syndrome : Self Help, Advice & Treatment.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition that causes symptoms of tingling and numbness in the palm of the hand and from the thumb to the ring finger. It occurs when a nerve located on the palm side of the wrist is compressed or irritated, usually due to a number of different risk factors which cause initial symptoms at night and on waking in the morning.

1) What is it ?
2) Why do I have it ?
3) What can I do about it ?
