Carpal tunnel syndrome is due to pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand and may extent to the elbow.  Should non-surgical treatment such as wrist braces and corticosteroids not improve symptoms, carpal tunnel release (decompression) surgery may be recommended whereby the ligament around the carpel tunnel is cut to remove pressure off the median nerve.
