This can result in pain, tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand and fingers. CTS often affects people who perform repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as typing, manual labour or playing musical instruments. If left untreated, symptoms can worsen, potentially leading to permanent nerve damage.
