NEUROLOGY · CONSULTATION GUIDE
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Prepare for a conversation with Dr Anup Bende at Shriji Polyclinic.
Symptoms to discuss
Tingling, numbness or pain in the hand can be worse at night. Thumb weakness and difficulty gripping may develop.
How assessment works
History and hand examination are important. Nerve conduction testing can help clarify the diagnosis or assess severity when appropriate.
Treatment approaches
Management may include a wrist splint and changes to aggravating activities. Some people need injections or surgical assessment depending on severity and response.
Prepare for your review
Bring previous prescriptions, investigation reports and your current medication list. Write down when symptoms began and how they affect your daily life. Ask which changes to monitor and when to return for review.
When to seek prompt help
Seek assessment if symptoms persist, worsen or affect grip. Treatment is selected after evaluating your individual findings.
