The carpal tunnel is a space in the wrist which carries nerves and tendons to the hand. When the tunnel contents become swollen, it can cause great pain by putting pressure on the nerve. This may be the result of repetitive motions such as playing an instrument, using a computer keyboard, or styling hair. During carpal tunnel release surgery, Dr. Cheng will cut the transverse carpal ligament to relieve the pressure on your nerve and remove the cause of your pain.
