Compressed Nerve Treatment in India

Sophia Joshi, a 42-year-old graphic designer and mother of two, began experiencing persistent numbness and a burning sensation in her right thumb and index finger six months ago. The symptoms worsened at night, often waking her from sleep with a painful 'pins and needles' feeling. As a freelancer, her ability to work on her tablet for long hours became severely limited. Her primary care physician suspected carpal tunnel syndrome and referred her to a neurologist. The neurologist confirmed a median nerve compression at the wrist via nerve conduction studies and recommended a corticosteroid injection as a first-line, minimally invasive treatment. During the brief in-office procedure, Sophia felt anxious but was reassured by the doctor's calm guidance. She experienced immediate relief from the nighttime waking within a week, and the constant numbness subsided over the following month. Emotionally, she transitioned from frustration and fear about her career to profound relief and optimism, regaining not only her work capacity but also uninterrupted sleep and the ability to comfortably hold her children's hands.
