Symptom 8. Difficulty Gripping Objects

As carpal tunnel syndrome advances, it can become increasingly challenging to grip objects. This difficulty can manifest in several ways, such as struggling to hold onto objects, turning doorknobs, or opening jars.
The weakening of the hand muscles, combined with the numbness and tingling in the fingers, can make it challenging to maintain a firm grip. This can lead to dropping objects or struggling with tasks that were once easy to complete.
If you’re experiencing difficulty gripping objects or notice a decline in your hand strength, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if CTS is the underlying cause. (7)
