Dr. Andrew Germanovich answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Carpal tunnel: Inflammation of median nerve. See a neurologist for proper diagnosis which may include nerve conduction study. Simple cases can be treated with wrist splints or modification of repetitive movements at work or home that contribute to it. Of course it could be arthritis or tendonitis.
