Carpal tunnel syndrome is a modern medical problem created by repetitive tasks such as keyboarding on computers or assembly-line work. In this condition, nerves in the wrist may become pinched, producing irritating, tingling sensations in the hands and lower arms. What is the source of this tingling?
