The dictionary definition for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is:

Pressure on the median nerve -- the nerve in the wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand.

In other words, it means if you do something repetitively that involved putting pressure on your wrists such a typing on a keyboard, writing, or even masturbation it can lead to putting too much pressure on the nerve and causing yourself pain, numbness, or tingling.

Carpal Tunnel can be cured by wearing a cast first at night and if that doesn't heal it then during the day as well. It also requires you to reduce the repetitive motion that caused it and to potentially take medications.

Remember in typing classes when the teacher told you to keep your wrists off the computer? This is why. But don't worry. It's not permanent. Carpal Tunnel pain only lasts for on average a few weeks.
