Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) primarily affects people who work with their hands frequently. Though it can affect any person within any age group and demographic, CTS primarily affects middle-aged people. The reason for that is because the body's natural immune system has already weakened, making it harder for a person's body to fight inflammation and any deviation from normal body function, which is the case with CTS.

What causes CTS?

Many things can cause CTS. However, recent research studies found that it was hard to directly pinpoint physical causes of CTS due to lack of pure evidence. Nevertheless, when everything is simplified, CTS is caused by strenuous activity on the wrist and improper posture. Cold weather can also have a negative impact on the nerve in the wrist.

Medical causes of CTS can include diabetes, autoimmune disorders, end-stage renal failure and more.

The reason why so many different medical conditions can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is because Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be three different problems. Compression of the median nerve in the wrist is the primary cause of CTS, followed by edema, and inflammation.

Treatments

Usually, refraining from doing any kind of strenuous activity with your hands is enough to relieve CTS. Additionally, you should keep your hand in a splint whenever it is possible. This will allow your ligaments to rest in the proper position, relieving the pressure on the median nerve. Lastly, you should apply some type of pain relief. Many adults don't like ingesting pain relievers. A topical treatment can be applied to help relieve pain. Super Blue Stuff OTC and Super White Stuff OTC Pain Relief Cream is a safe and natural topical pain relief in the form of a roll-on. This product will help you relieve your pain until the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome goes away.

The good thing is many studies found that once CTS is gone, it very rarely comes back. However, if it is left untreated, it can cause major nerve damage to your hands, causing you to lose feeling and functionality in your hands. It can also lead to rheumatoid arthritis. Finally, if you think you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you should see your doctor to be sure it wasn't caused by an underlying medical condition. If so, extra steps may need to be taken to relieve the syndrome.
