CTS ?: This might be a form of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, CTS, which usually follows a repetitive action with the wrist, especially seen in many people using computers Doing pushups might be causing the canal holding the median nerve to be inflamed or swollen. I recommend taking a break from the pushups to see if nerve sensations slowly go away. Can take OTC Advil or Aleve (naproxen) to relieve discomfort.
