Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common term that we hear from family and friends when we complain of numbness or pain in the wrist. It’s the one condition that seems the most likely cause because it’s quite well known. However, just because carpal tunnel syndrome is well-known does not mean it is the only condition that causes wrist pain and numbness.

- The North Core Tunnel is a room in the Magmoor Caverns. It appears in Metroid Prime. It is a hallway with a small pool of magma in the middle. Upon entering the room for the first time, a Magmoor will appear in the center of the pool, directly below a stalactite. If Samus launches a Missile at the stalactite, it will fall, kill the Magmoor, and can then be used as a 'stepping-stone' to cross.
- The key with any camping trip, is comfort—and comfort, begins with a reliable family tent. But with so many tent designs, tent materials, and tent features available, it can be tough to know what shelter is the best value.
- The South Core Tunnel is a room in the Magmoor Caverns. It appears in Metroid Prime. It is a short hallway which opens out into a pool of magma in the middle. There is a Puddle Spore in the center of the pool, along with two Flame jets on the walls, one on each side of the creature.
It is important to understand the symptoms of other common conditions that relate to the hand and wrist, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome, to rule out other possibilities.
In this article, we will cover common conditions that cause numbing, tingling, pain, or numbness in the fingers and wrists as well as what you should do if you believe you have one of these conditions.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when pressure is applied to your median nerve by the carpal bones. When swelling happens in your wrist, the carpal tunnel constricts the median nerve causing symptoms to appear. These symptoms could be radiating pain from the forearm to the shoulder, numbness, burning, or tingling starting at the thumb, pinky, or felt within the forearm.
The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome typically start slow and are felt mostly at night. This is due to sleeping positions that cause restriction within the wrists. How to tell is if you feel the need to shake your wrist to regain feeling. As the condition worsens, you will begin to feel symptoms during the day while driving, typing, or talking on the phone.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is another condition that is easily mistaken with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the early stages. This condition causes hand pain and numbness, but what differentiates this condition from CTS is how the pain is distributed. Along with the hand pain and numbness, RA causes pain within the larger knuckles and wrist joints. If the condition is RA, you will not feel pain along the nerve path. Typically you will feel the pain simultaneously in the right and left hand.
Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy is less common but is something worth ruling out. Cervical radiculopathy is caused by an existing condition within the cervical spine. The cervical spine is compiled of the seven vertebrae that make up the neck. This is where the nerves of the arms, wrists, and hands begin. When irritation happens to these vertebrae, you will experience neurological symptoms that include pain, numbness, and tingling of the arms and hands.
Conditions that cause cervical radiculopathy include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and osteoarthritis of the cervical spine. These conditions can cause similar symptoms as CTS and are difficult to self-diagnosis. However, If you experience mild ache, sharp or stabbing pain, there is the possibility that the cause is cervical radiculopathy. Another way to rule out CTS is the location of the symptoms. If you only feel the pain in the hands and wrist, it is more likely to be CTS and not cervical radiculopathy.

If you believe that you have one of these conditions, the next step is to get a confirmation from a medical professional. We recommend seeing a doctor as soon as you feel early symptoms of any of these conditions for early treatment. This will help treat the symptoms before they affect everyday tasks.

Disclaimer: Going without treatment will cause the symptoms to worsen and possibly lead to surgery. If you suspect that you have one of these conditions, don’t wait. Speak to a medical professional as soon as possible.
If your carpal tunnel has been confirmed by your doctor you may want to consider doing hand exercises to help manage and prevent pain. Check out these carpal tunnel exercises approved by CORE hand specialist Dr. Raymon Metz below.
