The term 'carpal tunnel' is also used quite commonly to refer to 'carpal tunnel syndrome' which is a condition where the median nerve is pinched within the tunnel and causes pain and/or numbness of the wrist/hand, once thought to be a result of repetitive motion such as painting or typing, and sometimes using instruments like drumsticks too much.
The carpal tunnel is important because the median nerve can be compressed in cases such as the following:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Wrist dislocations
Fractures around the wrist
About Me

- I was born in Tulsa, 1956, back then the world was a much bigger place, now I live with a cat named mr.Shark, My eldest son got me this computer and showed me how to write online so that anybody anywhere could read what I write. I tell ya, If I would have had this computer back in 76 everything would have been different.
