Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS is a condition that is caused from pressure on the median nerve. The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. When there is pressure on the nerve at this location, it is diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. If left uncorrected, it may result in permanent nerve hurt. This may result in permanent numbness and weakness of the muscles in the palm. This can be very debilitating as it causes a loss of grip strength and sensation. More information: human spirit
