Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - The SMS generation that, according to studies, cannot think unless their hands are on their mobiles or computer keyboards have found a new lifestyle disease for themselves. It is called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and those afflicted are in the age group of 15-34. It is caused by increased pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. This in turn leads to numbness in the fingers and the hand may turn completely useless.
