Doctor Lewisville TX, Dr. Ed Wolski, gives expert advice about carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful progressive condition caused by compression of a key nerve in the wrist. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. Symptoms usually start gradually, with pain in random areas of the body, body weakness, numbness in the hand and wrist. As the symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day, in the hands, legs, and lower parts of the legs. Initial treatment generally involves resting the affected area or areas of the body and taking anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonprescription pain relievers. Ice packs are often used to relieve pain. Lidocaine can be injected directly into the wrist or desired areas. For an appointment, contact doctor Lewisville TX,
