I must write something about carpal tunnel syndrome and I have no idea what it is. Pls,help me!

You have carpal tunnel in each of your wrists. It is
formed by the carpal bones and the ligament that connects them with each other to form
your wrist. A nerve that runs from your brain to your fingers passes through the carpal
tunnel along with tendons that connect muscles of your fingers and hands to the
bones.


When you make the same type of motion with your hand
or wrist repeatedly, the tendons being used to make that motion may become swollen due
to being overworked. If they become too inflamed, they press on the nerve passing
through the carpal tunnel, which can cause pain, numbness or weakness in the affected
hand.


The easiest way to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome is
to be aware of the types of movements you make with your hands and be careful about how
you make them. Variations in movements help when possible. Braces to prevent your wrists
from bending may be needed. In some cases, surgery is needed to relieve the pressure on
the nerve.
