pain in hand

We all experience pain in hand and it is not alarming usually. But not in case of Natasha (name changed) as she suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). 58-year-old Natasha visited Dr Nilesh Makwana, Director & consulting physiotherapist, Muscle N Mind Physiotherapy Centre, with excruciating pain, tingling and numbness in the hand and a loose grip. She weighed 96 kgs. Since CTS is extremely common due to obesity or related issues. After examination and reviewing her past medical records it was discovered that she suffered from hypothyroidism. She had multiple pregnancies and in every pregnancy, she was CTS detected but never treated completely. She was asked to undergo a weight loss programme (diet and exercise) for 3 months along with the CTS treatment. She started shedding weight and feeling lighter and subsequently the pain reduced. Over a period of 3 months she lost around 18 kgs and the pain vanished. Also Read - Foods that can make muscle and joint pain worse in winter
