Karan Smith, a 58-year-old long-haul truck...
Karan Smith, a 58-year-old long-haul truck driver, had been struggling for months with persistent numbness and a burning 'pins and needles' sensation in his right hand, which made gripping the steering wheel painful. His primary care physician, suspecting carpal tunnel syndrome from years of repetitive driving, referred him to a neurologist. The neurologist recommended a Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) to objectively measure the severity of nerve compression. Karan was anxious, fearing the test might reveal a serious condition that could end his career. During the procedure, the small electrical pulses felt like quick, sharp static shocks, which were uncomfortable but brief. The results confirmed moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. With a clear diagnosis, Karan felt relieved to finally have an answer. He underwent a corticosteroid injection and started wearing a wrist splint at night. His symptoms improved significantly, allowing him to continue driving with modifications. Emotionally, he moved from fear and uncertainty to relief and empowerment, grateful for a concrete path to manage his condition.
