| Continuing our theme of upper limb issues relating to repetitive overload (see our previous articles on tennis elbow and RSI), today we are chatting about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Have you ever had pins and needles? We all have at some point – you sit on your leg for too long and end up with a raging tingle in your foot. It’s painful and annoying, but if you wiggle it around a bit, it goes away after not too long.
But what if it the tingling didn’t go away, or if it keeps coming back for no apparent reason?
People with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome experience a nasty tingling in their hand. For some, it comes and goes, for others, it sets in and becomes a constant, irritating companion.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition with many theories on causes and contributing factors. There is one causative factor, however, that is often mentioned - repetitive activity with the hands.

Thank you for all of your interesting questions over the past month – make sure you send us a <Quick Question> if you have any more! Til next fortnight
