Call NowWhat Are Compression Neuropathies?
Compression neuropathies in Lahore occur when a nerve is compressed by surrounding structures such as muscles, bones, or connective tissue. This pressure disrupts normal nerve function, leading to symptoms like:
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness in the hand or arm
- Burning or shooting pain
- Loss of coordination or grip strength
These symptoms often worsen at night or with repetitive hand use.
Common Types of Compression Neuropathies
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve at the wrist. Symptoms: Numbness in thumb, index, and middle finger; nighttime tingling.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Symptoms: Tingling in the ring and little fingers; elbow discomfort.
- Radial Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the radial nerve near the forearm. Symptoms: Pain on the outer forearm; weakness in wrist or finger extension.
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Compression of nerves or blood vessels near the neck/shoulder. Symptoms: Pain, swelling, or heaviness in the arm, especially when raised.
