Can you have carpal tunnel syndrome with no pain?

In: Health, Conditions and Diseases, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome [Edit categories]

Answer:

It probably will depend on your definition of what pain is. Generally the most common symptom or symptoms are numbness and tingling of the first 3 digits (thumb, index, and middle fingers) causing your hands to feel like they have fallen asleep. Due to this, a lot of people think they have a circulation problem, but in reality it is a neurological problem.

Some people will also describe and ache or throbbing of the hands that might be considered "pain". You can also have hand/wrist tendonitis along with carpal tunnel syndrome which may give you "pain" in the hands etc..

Most people have a combination of numbness, tingling, and pain with carpal tunnel syndrome. It is possible to have carpal tunnel syndrome without pain. Some patients complain only of numb fingers.
