Can you get carpal tunnel on your feet?
Well kind of...it's not called carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) though.It's called tarsal tunnel syndrome...pronounced Tar-sull.Like carpal is the name of your wrist bones,tarsal is the name of your foot bones.A nerve in your leg branches out into your foot.It's fairly uncommon,but is seen in foot and ankle injuries/fractures,or if there is some type of lesion/tumor near the nerve.You get burning pain,numbness and tingling to the bottom of your foot.Sometimes a heel wedge that aligns your foot and ankle solves the problem,but surgery may be needed if symptoms persist. No not carpal tunnel however there may be some other similar interference with nerves that work in that area.
Definition of carpul tunnel syndrome exactly?
It is the compression or compromise of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist area. The anatomical name of the wrist is called the carpal tunnel...if you have symptoms of numbness and tingling of the first 2 or 3 fingers (usually worse at night) and some wrist hand pain then you might have the "syndrome", hence the name carpal tunnel syndrome or CTS
What is the difference between carpal tunnel and arthritis?
Carpal tunnel is the name of the anatomy of your wrist. If you are talking about the actual syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, it is caused by compression of the median nerve that runs through the "carpal tunnel" in your wrist. Arthritis is a general term that has to do with inflammation of a joint. This is where the joint surface becomes rough and therefore can cause pain as the 2 joint surfaces can no longer glide over each other.If someone has arthritis of the wrist bones, this may put them at risk for getting carpal tunnel syndrome because the nerve may have less space in the 'tunnel' and get crowded causing the compression of the median nerve. It is particularly prevalent in the case of rheumatoid arthritis as this is an inflammatory disease and the inflammation put extra pressure on the nerves passing through the carpel tunnel.
What does carpal tunnel affect?
Carpal tunnel is actually the name of the area in your wrist where nerves and tendons pass through. If the median nerve gets compressed or pinched in some way, this can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Typically it can cause night or morning symptoms of numbness and tingling of the hands (first 2 or 3 fingers) and sometimes pain. If it goes on long enough w/o treatment, you can lose muscle tone and grip strength in your hands.
How do you get carpal tunnel?
Carpal tunnel can be caused by many different things. The most common one that people know about is repetitive hand/finger use. This can cause your tendons in your wrist to become inflamed and enlarged and this can but pressure or squeeze the median nerve to give you carpal tunnel symptoms. These structures travel through the area in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. There are other causes or risk factors that can cause CTS as well, like diabetes, pregnancy, and hypothyroidism to name a few.Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a collection of characteristic symptoms and signs that occurs following entrapment of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Usual symptoms include numbness, paresthesias, and pain in the median nerve distribution. These symptoms may or may not be accompanied by objective changes in sensation and strength of median-innervated structures in the hand. Given that carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is associated with low aerobic fitness (and increased BMI), it makes inherent sense to provide the patient with an aerobic fitness program.A recent literature citation suggests that there is still little guidance on the level of exposure to physical work demands that is associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.[1] This study is augmented by the fact that specific risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome remain controversial; there are few clinical data to show that repetitive or forceful hand and wrist movement can result in carpal tunnel syndrome. No single ergonomic risk factor is sufficient; multiple, simultaneous ergonomic risk factors must be present for work or recreational activity to contribute to development of carpal tunnel syndrome.[2] Furthermore, there are any number of underlying conditions that may increase the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome, which would include rheumatoid arthritis, renal failure, diabetes mellitus, acromegaly, multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, obesity, recent tuberculosis, and bacterial or fungal infection that spreads into the carpal tunnel[1] van Rijn RM, Huisstede BM, Koes BW, et al.

What is the anatomical scientific name for the wrist?
the name of wrist joint is Radio-carpal joint.
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel?
Carpal tunnel is the name of the area in your wrist where the median nerve can get compressed causing the actual carpal tunnel syndrome. Typically it effects women more than men 2 to 1. You will have numbness and tingling type symptoms in the first two or three fingers and have symptoms at night and or in the morning. Some people complain of hand weakness, or ache/ pain in the hands. You may have a history of repetitive hand use at work or as a hobby but not always. If you have diabetes, hypothyroidism, old wrist fracture, arthritis etc..these things put you at risk for getting CTS.
Can stenosing tenosynovitis result in patients that have had carpal tunnel surgery?
Generally no, Stenosing tenosynovitis is also called Trigger finger. The Sheath around the tendon closes in or gets tighter around the tendon. Sometimes nodules forms on tendon and this can get caught on the sheath of the tendon causing a locking or triggering effect on the finger...Hence the name. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the median nerve in the wrist is compressed causing numbness and tingling in certain fingers but NO triggering and carpal tunnel surgery releases the band that is causing the nerve to be compressed...so this would not effect the tendon sheaths in your fingers. Some people can get adhesions and scar tissue inside the carpal tunnel area after surgery and this can eventually cause the nerve to be effected or compressed again.
What is the scientific name for the carpals?
The scientific name for the carpals are carpals.
