What is carpal tunnel syndrome? The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage on the inside of your forearm at the level of your wrist. It houses the medial nerve and tendons that flex the fingers on your hand. All of these structures fit nice and neat in this passage that protects them from injury.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has ever had a\u00a0pinched nerve<\/a>\u00a0knows the amount of pain associated with it. The nerve can be agitated by fine motor skills and vibrating movements that cause\u00a0inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n Home remedies for carpal tunnel syndrome<\/strong>\u00a0go a long way towards fighting the pain. If the movement that caused the carpal tunnel problem is temporary, then any treatment should take care of the discomfort.
