Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

Some of the injuries that can occur in the hand are Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome along with many more. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome causes pain or numbness in the ring and little fingers, but could also go to the arm (Types of RSI, 2010). Occurs when the ulnar nerve is pinched along the elbow’s edge (“funny bone”), and has tingling or painful feeling (Types of RSI, 2010). Cubital Tunnel Syndrome can be treated by avoiding putting pressure on the “funny bone” (Types of RSI, 2010). Cubital could lead to surgery if the nerve needs to be relieved. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is similar to Cubital but occurs in the three first fingers. A major nerve is compressed which passes over the carpal bones through the front of the wrist (ASSH, 2015). When the nerve is compressed it causes painful, tingling and numbness in the first three fingers (ASSH, 2015). Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be treated without surgery by changing the patterns of hand use and/or wearing wrist splints at night (ASSH, 2015). If severe then surgery can take place to make the nerve have more

Make a schedule and stick to it. In a Harvard University Health Publication written by Dr. Deepak Bhatt, “Every time you are physically active, whether you take a walk or play tennis, your body releases mood-boosting chemicals called endorphins”. Exercising not only helps to melt away stress, but it protects against heart disease by lowering your blood pressure and also strengthens your heart muscle. By creating a schedule where you make time for studying, sleeping, eating, and exercise, you will be able to find times, whether it be between studying breaks or right when you get home from school, to exercise and to help maintain a healthy

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, also known as CTS, a term we hear often but may not understand the extremities of. Each year various people are diagnosed with CTS, which causes symptoms of numbness, weakness, and other feelings of discomfort in an individual’s wrist. To put it quite frankly, Carpal Tunnel causes symptoms are annoying and can affect individuals from various walks of life.

Carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure to relieve numbness and pain in your hand caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.

As your body changes to make space for you're developing child, you may have body throbs, for example, back, stomach area, crotch, or thigh torment. Stretch stamps on the midriff, bosoms, thighs, or backside, obscuring of the skin around the areolas, a line on the skin running from midsection catch to pubic hairline. Patches of darker skin, ordinarily over the cheeks, brow, nose, or upper lip. Fixes regularly coordinate on both sides of the face. This is here and there called the cover of pregnancy, numb or shivering hands, called carpal passage disorder. Tingling on the guts, palms, and soles of the feet or swelling of the lower legs, fingers, and face.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a painful repetitive motion injury in the wrist that can develop in one or both hands. The syndrome starts as a numbness in the palm and spreads to the fingers that are innervate by the median nerve. If the condition worsens, pain can replace the numbness and spread to the elbows and shoulders, effecting your activities of daily living. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is increasingly reported every year and tends to effects women more then men due to pregnancy. Thankfully, it has many different treatment plans that can cure or help decrease the pain in the afflicted extremities. This is a great relief and interest to many people who have developed this syndrome. (1)

Symptoms of CTS include tingling and numbness of the hands and fingers focusing primarily in the thumb and the Index fingers. Patients tend to experience feelings of swelling in the hand when no visual symptom is shown. In the beginning of the disease the symptoms tend to be experienced during the night and slowly progress to be experienced during the day. The feeling of having to shake

The symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling or weakness are the result of the inflammatory process within the carpal tunnel that leads to compression of the median nerve. The compression and resulting impingement of the median nerve results in ischemia. The ischemia leads to the symptoms of numbness, tingling, pain and weakness of the hand and/or forearm. The FNP should inspect the wrist and hands of the patient with symptoms of CTS, looking for skin color and temperature changes, deformities and muscle wasting. The active and passive range of motion (ROM) of the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers should be accessed. Muscle strength should be assessed at the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers. Spurling’s test for cervical radiculopathy should be performed. A plain x-ray can be ordered by the FNP if ROM of the wrist is limited. The FNP should also assess capillary refill of the fingers (Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, & Thomas,

By now you must be enjoying all the compliments coming your way about that coveted ‘glow’ and the ‘luscious’ locks. Of course you might be still coming to terms with your ever-increasing tummy, but it is a lot easier to feel better about yourself when you are wearing flattering maternity clothes.

Due to a schedule conflict my co-worker Chris Callahan attended the appointment with Mr. Price and Dr. Werner on 6/15/16. Mr. Price said that he has difficulty gripping with the right hand. He also reports numbness and tingling to the first three fingers. He stated this has been consistent since the injury. Dr. Werner reviewed the EMG report. Grip test showed that his right hand is weaker than the left. Dr. Werner did tapping and repositioning of the hands and wrist which resulted in numbness to the first four fingers of the right hand. Tapping to the elbow also caused the fifth finger to go numb. Ms. Callahan asked for clarification on the cause of the Carpal Tunnel (CTS) diagnosis. Dr. Werner stated that changes in the right shoulder

Video Games cause social isolation, for example a 15 year old boy in Sweden pass out after playing World of Warcraft for 24 hours straight, he passed out because he started experiencing social withdrawal, the kid was lacking contact with other humans, and his body’s response to the problem was to pass out. On an extreme level, Ruya Cunningham, a college student spent twenty hours a week playing video games, she eventually “dropped out of school, stopped exercising, and even stopped bathing” (Marcovitz 70). Later on, Ruya Cunningham developed depression, but she kept playing video games because she was addicted to the game. When people are addicted to a game, there is a spiraling vortex sucking the gamer away from society and from sanity. As a consequence of playing violent video games, many teen gamers struggle with real world relationships, this is because they form close virtual relationships with people they meet online. A man in Wisconsin has formed a tremendously close relationship with a group of guys he plays online with, he discusses politics with them and they send each other Christmas gifts even though they do not know each other (Marcovitz 70-72). Video games can also affect the players mental and their physiological state.

Any condition that causes swelling or a change in position of the tissue within the carpal tunnel can squeeze and irritate the median nerve, which causes tingling and numbness of the thumb, index, and the middle fingers, a condition known as "carpal tunnel syndrome" (Nidus Information Systems, 2001). All people

Video game are very addictive. Handful of people play hours on end just to beat the next level or are just simply addictive. The telegraph's Nick Allen described, in about a shooter, and found interesting evidence, "saw him playing violent zombie video games in his room. Sometimes from 12:30 pm until 4:30 am." (P.2) if this specific person wasn’t so addictive to video games he could of spent time outside his room making connections/friends ships and developing a better anchor. Some night say it was his own choice to play video games instead of making connections, but what if his brain didn’t let him because of how adictive he had become to video

Playing video games for hours at a time in one day, every day of the week can lead to another major problem, gaming addiction. Youth may become obsessed with the game and think they have to beat it before they do anything else and never want to leave their rooms because they want to consistently play the game. Dr. Russell A. Sabella states in his article on Education.com that: “for most people, computer use and video game play is integrated into their lives as a balanced manner. For others, time spent on the computer or video games is out of balance and has displaced work, school, friends, even family”(Sabella). Becoming addicted to video games can cause a lot of problems in the family because some parents like to have family dinners and they have to literally fight with their kid to get
