10 Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

6. Relief from Wrist Movements

One notable relief from pain is simply moving the hand into a different position. Symptoms are usually worse at night, presumably because the joints of the hands and wrist can become stiff as a result of less movement and because fluid accumulates in the arm and hand, placing pressure on the median nerve. In the most severe cases, symptoms become so intense that sleep is continuously disturbed throughout the night.
