Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Jesus Velasquez

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This specific syndrome happens when you have Illnesses such as hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes or making the same hand movements over and over. Especially if the wrist is bent down (your hands lower than your wrists), or making the same wrist movements over and over or even pregnancy. So if you suffer from diabetes then you have a higher chance of getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. You should not even make the same hand movement. Even some pregnant females can end up with this Syndrome.
My friend Erica Santana is suffering from this Syndrome. She had to wear a cast for several days and she couldn’t even move her hand. This happened to her in fifth grade in her old school. Now she is in seventh grade and she is still suffering. Erica said, “This happened when I was moving my hand around and around. Then I started feeling something in my hand and I was sent to the Emergency room.” I don’t think this is a joke. She was dead serious when she said this.

This story should be able to introduce and tell you about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and how it is not a joke. Don’t think that you can’t end up with Syndrome because it can happen to my friend Erica. She didn’t know what was going on at first though, but her story should tell you about how serious this is. So you should be careful about what you do.
