Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Explained

[hurricanebonnie]

37 years old and one day i just wake up with this...what a life ,im scared to go to sleep.

[appleloveTK]

I'm not sure if I have Carpal Tunnel but my thumb keeps moving involuntarily, it started like a week ago, I do use computer a lot, but I've been using computers since I was like 12.. I just don't understand how all of sudden I'm having this problem.. I'm also on medication that i started since 2009 maybe it's the culprit?

[AuntJoanieBaloney]

Great mock up to demonstrate CTS.

[anorahlou]

Thanks for the video, I thought it will be like a joke by the way having those colored strings attached to your hand; but the presentation and explanation was delivered in more layman's term (which is the case for me). Great video indeed!

[Natureboywhooo]

im hurting on the other side of th wrist not the palm side, still have numbness tingling

[JeRRiiEz]

most informative video about carpel tunnel

[bl00dykills9]

I need help.. I think I have it but I'm 2 scared 2 tell my mom because I think that I'll die.. Someone please help

[3DaysPanic]

wow I never heard of this before but man, you're an amazing explainer. Visual is the way to go. :]

[mistyblue68]

had the surgery and best thing I could have done, sorry that i was scared of the surgery and put it off for so long, fast surgery and quick recovery! no more problems.

[thehappyhermitcrab]

When I squeeze my fist I get this tingling sensation. Is this normal?

[seamonkeyflying]

it sucks i have it =/

[needlearmor]

thanks dr. chase!

[riannetje]

You just explained EXACTLY what I'm feeling! Too bad my neuroligist doesn't believe I got CTS...

[olev456]

waaaaa, u made my stiuation even worse with that knowledge. I thought i had some carpal tunnel thingy but since you said that there cant be anything wrong with pink finger , and my pinky and wrist (only at pinky side )hurts alot all the time and dies when occasionally then this means i have like even worse disease.

[LebPuppy]

Very clever depiction...

[Livingreciever]

the australian accent put me off 10 seconds in.. lol jokes. awsome

[SstalkerS]

Great example, thanks.

[curicica15]

bizarre

[yellowcorba1]

the stronger your arm the stronger your grip gets right?

[DarkShadow753]

Thanks for the vid dude, it really helped me understand this condition much better than just reading about it.

To Spe4kfr34ly,

The guy is Australian, not English or British!

Britons are actually Celts who lived up to the middle ages although the term British is commonly used to ascribe an association to those living in the UK.

[sparkiNeuron]

@betelgeuse111 Australians are decedents of Britishers.

who colonized the big island

[betelgeuse111]

Oh really? Well thank you for clearing that up for me! I'm Australian & have no British ancestry! But of course we are all British at heart eh? Even the French who were colonizing parts of Sydney along side the British... The Dutch who discovered Australia & named it New Holland & oh lets not forget about the original inhabitants who are after all the furthest thing from being Australian as they didn't come from British heritage. Australians are decedents of 'Britishers' as are Americans!

Thank you finally someone dumbed it down a little to where I could actually grasp the concept of what this is. Now im off to open up my own hand and get rid of the danm bridge.

[ceejay810]

is it true that excessive exposure with the computer, you will have this kind of disease?

[nwauwf]

yes it is very true!  most cases come from the computer

[micger]

There is nerve to the pinkie. It is called ulnar nerve.

[noobspank]

the ulnar nerve runs down the entire arm. It's called the ulnar nerve because it runs adjacent to the bone, called the ulna, in your arm.

[micger]

yeah I know that, I was just referring to the fact that he said there was no nerve going to the pinkie.

[luckyric70]

That was excellent..beautifully explained. I have an EMG test tomorrow for a possible case of Carpel Tunnel. This video was very informative.

[bronxny23]

This explanation was the best Ive seen by far. Ive seen many videos as mine Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is so bad Im having surgery. So thank you for a better look on how it is for my hand.

[badlcan]

very good

[Trivalse]

That was well explained. Your way of explaining was easy to understand.

[franzpaolo]

You are a genius! Maybe you have some Italian genes into your DNA!

[spe4kfr34ly]

see that's the problem with overinflated patriotism that is so symptomatic among canadian italians too. quite frankly, it's redundant and ignorant. here's an equally ignorant retort: it's worthier to be a briton like this narrator than ever to be an italian. ergo, it is like telling einstein that he resembles a charlatan psychic in regard to E-MC2

[spe4kfr34ly]

*E=MC2

[SouthParkRulz419]

Very good explanation

[warmnightair]

thank you for the video! I am dealing with this very problem. It comes and goes in both hands. It hangs around for quite some time then leaves. I hate it!
