Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
What it is?
Symptoms
1. Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers.
2. Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grip objects or perform certain manual tasks.
3. Pain or discomfort in the hand and wrist region, which may radiate up the forearm or even to the shoulder.
4. Sensation of swelling in the fingers, even though there is no actual swelling.
These symptoms are typically worse at night and can disrupt sleep. They may also be aggravated by activities that involve repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as typing, sewing, or using tools.
Causes
Diagnosis
1. Resting the hand and avoiding activities that worsen symptoms.
2. Wearing a wrist splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position and relieve pressure on the median nerve.
3. Applying cold packs or taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.
4. Doing hand exercises and stretches to improve flexibility and strength.
5. Modifying workstations and ergonomics to reduce strain on the wrists.
6. In severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be recommended to alleviate symptoms.

Consulted him for my mother’s frozen shoulder. He gave her an injection which was completely painless and she instantly got relief. He took time to explain all the exercises and precautions. He listened to us patiently and gave answers to all possible questions. Highly recommended.

Consulted sir for my mothers knee pain / osteoarthritis. Sir suggested PRP for my mother’s knee pain, we thought it would be painful. But there was no pain and only after 15 days of injection, she feels much better now.
