CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

As people who spend extended periods working on laptops or desktops on daily basis, this is a condition we are prone to.
CTS is a condition where the median nerve gets compressed in the carpal tunnel, basically at the wrist.

The symptoms include, pain, numbness and tingling sensation in the thumb, index, middle and part of the ring fingers. 
Over time, these symptoms can lead to hand weakness, difficulty gripping objects, and in some cases, a sensation of swelling in the affected hand. It is important for us who regularly engage in computer work to be mindful of this condition and take preventive measures.

If anyone’s experiencing any of the symptoms, let me know in the comment
