Hand numbness is not necessarily cervical spondylosis, pay attention to "mouse hand"

Once there is a "head down party" with numb fingers and sedentary sitting, the first reaction is that there is a problem with the cervical spine. In fact, another common cause of finger numbness is carpal tunnel syndrome, which was often called "mouse hand" in the past. As the name suggests, it is related to prolonged use of the mouse, wrist joints and repeated flexion and extension of the fingers. Even if you do not use the computer, "swiping your phone" for a long time, keeping your wrist in a flexed posture, and excessive finger movement can also induce carpal tunnel syndrome.
