Have you ever had any of these symptoms?

The "hand fibrosis" that most people often mention refers to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - CTS, a condition that is very common in people who repeatedly use their hands and wrists for a long time, especially office people who use computers 💻 and mobile devices. 📱

❓ Causes and mechanisms of disease.

The disease is caused by the Median Nerve, which stretches through a strait in the wrist called the Carpal Tunnel, being depressed 💢 due to:

▪️ Ligament: The fascia covering the carpal cavity thickens, narrowing the nerve passage.

▪️ inflammation and swelling of tendon membranes: usually caused by repeated or misused use of the hands and wrists in a prolonged posture (e.g. job printing, mouse use)

▪️ congenital diseases: such as diabetes 🍬, rheumatoid arthritis or hypothyroidism increase the risk.

⚡. Observed symptoms.

The symptoms of nerve pressure fibrosis are often more and more gradual:

▪️ numbness: 🖐️ numbness on the thumb, index finger, middle finger and parts of the ring finger.

▪️ much at night: numbness and pain often increase at night until you wake up and shake your hand. 🌙

▪️ anguish: There may be anguish from the wrist to the arms and shoulders. ⬆️

▪️ weak hands: 📉 feel less force in your hands, do not handle small things, or do things out of your hands often. ☕

▪️ Muscle atrophy: If left for a long time, the muscles in the outer thumb cone may atrophy.

🩺 Guidelines for treatment and self-care

Treatment is based on the severity of the symptoms:

✅ behavior adjustment:

▪️ reduce use: Avoid activities that require repeated wrist flexion or downed for prolonged periods of time. 🧘

Gesture adjustment ▪️: Adjust the working device (e.g. mouse, keyboard) ⌨️ to the position where the wrist is the most direct and relaxed line.

Hand and Wrist Administration ▪️: Acting Stretch Administration Poses to Help Relax Fascia 💪

✅ use of tools:

▪️ Splinting: Put a soft splint on the wrist during the night to prevent bending the wrist while sleeping. 🩹

✅ treatment by a doctor:

▫️ Injection: Inject steroids locally at the carpal cavity area to reduce inflammation and swelling. 💉

Surgical ▪️: 🔪 If the condition is very severe, or other treatments are ineffective, surgery to cut the depressed fascia will enlarge the nerve passage and relieve the symptoms permanently.
