Description:

The carpal tunnel is formed by the natural arch of the wrist bones. The tunnel's roof is formed by  a thick band called  the transverse carpal ligament. This means that the tunnel's size cannot be changed because the ligament and bones act as solid walls. Nine tendons that flex the thumb fingers and median nerve pass through the tunnel. Because of the median nerve the thumb index middle and half of the ring finger's skin  become sensitive to  touch . Furthermore the nerve transmits information to the tendinous muscles at the base of the thumb.This nerve senses the thumb index middle and half of the ring finger. The little finger is usually unaffected.

People who perform repetitive finger-use tasks or jobs are at risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be caused by a variety of other factors including , Rheumatoid arthritis/Gout/Psoriasis Amyloidosis is a condition that occurs in gout infections.
