 What’s happening:

  • A nerve in your wrist called the median nerve gets compressed

    • Thum
    • Index finger 
    • Middle finger 
    • Half of the ring finger

 That’s exactly why those fingers are highlighted in red in the image.

 Symptoms:

  • Tingling or “pins and needles”
  • Numbness in those fingers
  • Weak grip
  • Pain that can travel up the arm

 Common causes:

  • Repetitive hand use (mouse, phone, typing)
  • Wrist position (bent for long periods)
  • Inflammation or swelling

 What actually helps:

  • Keep wrist straight (neutral position)
  • Take frequent breaks
  • Stretch fingers and wrist
  • Use ergonomic mouse/keyboard
  • Night wrist brace (very effective)
