The median nerve runs through eight bones in the wrist call carpal bone. They form a semi lunar tunne in which the nerve and tendons of the hand pass.
Repetative finger and hand movement cause irritaiton of the median nerve which causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which includes symptoms such as wrist pain, burning tingling or numbness in the hand.
