What you may notice
Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary between people.
- Hand tingling
- Numbness
- Nighttime hand discomfort
- Weak grip in some people
Understanding care
Clinical care may include assessment of nerve function and discussion of activity, splinting or procedural options. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Seek review for persistent pain, numbness or increasing weakness. Sudden neurological loss or weakness with new speech or vision changes requires emergency assessment.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
