This section covers problems of the hand, wrist and elbow, including nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow pain and peripheral nerve injuries. Treatment starts with an accurate individual diagnosis and may be non-surgical or surgical, including elbow arthroscopy.
Note: Numbness or weakness in the hand can have different causes. Diagnosis needs an in-person examination, and ongoing symptoms should not be ignored.
Causes include a nerve being compressed at the wrist, elbow or neck. The hand numbness guide explains the general signs, but finding the cause needs an examination.
Often not. Many improve with non-surgical care, and surgery or arthroscopy is considered when they do not respond.
When pain, numbness or weakness persists, when grip weakens, or after an injury or a fall onto the hand.
