Numbness and Pain – these sensations form in the hand and can be painful. This affects the median nerve which is located in the thumb, index, middle and fourth fingers of the hand. It is similar to pins and needles.

Hand cramping- this is extremely painful and can shoot up your palm , fingers, wrist, or forearm. The best way to resolve this pain is to shake and massage the spot hurting you to ease the cramps.

Muscle weakness- as carpal tunnel symptoms get worse, you may find your grip strength to weaken, may lose grip of certain objects causing you to drop them due to numbness or cramping.

Disrupted sleep- sleep tends to aggravate carpal tunnel. It is all about the position in which you sleep in, for example, if you flex your wrist while sleeping, it will help a ton.
