Guide To The Symptoms Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Itching Or Burning Sensations

Another classic pair of carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms are itching or burning sensations. These may occur alongside numbness or tingling. They may also occur without an individual experiencing numbness or tingling. There have been some cases where the numbness progresses to burning and itching. These feelings occur due to nerve compression. In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome begins in the dominant hand, especially if they have been using that hand to write or do other labor-intensive work. 

If individuals are experiencing unexplained burning or itching, they should talk to a doctor. These sensations are often signs that something is amiss with the nervous system. This is especially the case if affected individuals do not have any accompanying skin symptoms like redness or rashes. The majority of patients treated for carpal tunnel syndrome make a complete recovery. It is rare to experience a recurrence. One of the most critical aspects of treatment is rest, which is sometimes difficult for students and office workers.
