Carpal Tunnel Symptoms

Other Carpal Tunnel Symptoms and Signs

Other signs and symptoms of the condition may include:
 
  • Clumsiness
  • Fingers feeling useless and swollen (even though little or no swelling is apparent)
  • Decreased grip strength, making it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks
  • Difficulty telling the difference between hot and cold by touch.
     
In chronic carpal tunnel syndrome or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away.
