Numb thumb nerver

Cheiralgia paraesthetica Wartenberg's syndrome is a neuropathy of the hand generally caused by compression or trauma to the superficial branch of the radial nerve. Since the nerve branch is sensory there is no motor impairment. The most common cause is thought to be constriction of the wrist, as with a bracelet or watchband hence reference to "wristwatch neuropathy". It is especially associated with the use of handcuffs and is therefore commonly referred to as handcuff neuropathy.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. The anatomy of the wrist, health problems and possibly repetitive hand motions can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. Proper treatment usually relieves the tingling and numbness and restores wrist and hand function. Tingling or numbness. You may notice tingling and numbness in the fingers or hand.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that happens when the median nerve is compressed or squeezed as it passes through the wrist. This happens when the carpal tunnel inside your wrist becomes inflamed. The median nerve controls some of the muscles that move the thumb and carries information back to the brain about sensations in your thumb and fingers. When the nerve is squeezed it can cause tingling, numbness, pain or aching in the affected hand. Women are more likely than men to develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common nerve condition that occurs when the median nerve in the arm is compressed at the wrist inside the carpal tunnel. Pressure on this nerve can result from many conditions, including a wrist injury, repetitive movements of the wrist and hand, or fluid accumulation. When the median nerve is trapped in the carpal tunnel, it causes symptoms of pain, numbness, or weakness in the thumb and fingers. Treatment includes rest, splints, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery if other treatments fail. If carpal tunnel syndrome is left untreated, pressure on the median nerve can lead to muscle weakness in the affected hand.
