Yintoni icarpal tunnel syndrome?

I-Carpal tunnel syndrome kukucinezelwa kwemithambo-luvo ephakathi njengoko idlulela esandleni. I-nerian median ibekwe kwicala lesundu lesandla sakho (ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-carpal tunnel). I-median nerve inika uvakalelo (ukubanako ukuziva) kwisithupha sakho, kumnwe wesalathiso, kumnwe omde, nakwinxalenye yomnwe womsesane. Inika amandla esihlunwini esiya kubhontsi. I-Carpal tunnel syndrome inokwenzeka kwisinye okanye kwizandla zakho zombini.

Ukudumba ngaphakathi kwesihlahla sakho kubangela uxinzelelo kwi-carpal tunnel syndrome. Ingakhokelela ekubeni ube ndindisholo, ubuthathaka, kunye nokutswina kwicala lesandla sakho kufutshane nobhontsi.

Yintoni ebangela i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Intlungu kwi-carpal tunnel yakho ingenxa yoxinzelelo olugqithisileyo kwisandla sakho nakwi-nerve median. Ukudumba kunokubangela ukudumba. Esona sizathu sixhaphakileyo sokudumba yimeko yezonyango ebangela ukudumba esihlahleni, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kuthintele ukuphuma kwegazi. Ezinye zeemeko eziqhelekileyo ezinxulumene ne-carpal tunnel syndrome zi:

• isifo seswekile
• ukungasebenzi kwe-thyroid
• ukugcinwa kolwelo ukusuka ekukhulelweni okanye ukuya exesheni
• igazi elonyukayo
• iingxaki zomzimba ezinjenge-rheumatoid arthritis
• ukwaphuka okanye ukwenzakala esihlahleni

I-Carpal tunnel syndrome inokwenziwa mandundu ngakumbi ukuba isihlahla sandiswa ngaphezulu. Ukuphinda-phinda ukuhamba kwesandla sakho kunegalelo ekudumbeni nasekucinezelweni kwemithambo-luvo. Oku kunokuba sisiphumo se:

• Ukubeka izihlahla zakho ngelixa usebenzisa ikhibhodi okanye imouse
• Ukuvezwa ixesha elide kukungcangcazela ekusebenziseni izixhobo okanye izixhobo zamandla
• nayiphi na intshukumo ephindaphindwayo esonga ngaphezulu esihlahleni sakho, njengokudlala ipiyano okanye ukuchwetheza

Ngubani osemngciphekweni we-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Abasetyhini banamathuba amathathu okuba ne-carpal tunnel syndrome kunamadoda. I-Carpal tunnel syndrome ihlala ifunyaniswa phakathi kweminyaka engama-30 nama-60. Iimeko ezithile zonyusa umngcipheko wokukhula kwayo, kubandakanya neswekile, uxinzelelo lwegazi kunye nesifo samathambo.

Izinto zokuphila ezinokunyusa umngcipheko we-carpal tunnel syndrome zibandakanya ukutshaya, ukutya okunetyuwa eninzi, indlela yokuphila, kunye nesalathiso sobunzima bomzimba (BMI).

Imisebenzi ebandakanya ukuphindaphinda intsimbi yesiqhelo kubandakanya:

• imveliso
• Umsebenzi wendibano
• imisebenzi yezitshixo
• umsebenzi wokwakha.

Abantu abaqeshwe kule misebenzi banokuba semngciphekweni omkhulu wokuphuhlisa i-carpal tunnel syndrome.

Zithini iimpawu zecarpal tunnel syndrome?

Iimpawu zihlala zifumaneka ecaleni kwendlela ye-nerve ngenxa yoxinzelelo lwe-median nerve. Isandla sakho 'sinokulala' rhoqo kwaye siwise izinto. Ezinye iimpawu zibandakanya:

• ukuba ndindisholo, ukurhawuzelela, kunye nentlungu kubhontsi wakho nakuminwe yakho yokuqala emithathu
• intlungu nokutsha okunyusa ingalo yakho
• Intlungu yesihlahla ebusuku ephazamisa ukulala
• ubuthathaka kwimisipha yesandla

Ichongwa njani i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Oogqirha banokuchonga i-carpal tunnel syndrome besebenzisa indibaniselwano yembali yakho, uvavanyo lomzimba, kunye neemvavanyo ezibizwa ngokuba zifundo zokuqhutywa kwemithambo-luvo.

Uvavanyo lomzimba lubandakanya uvavanyo olucacisiweyo lwesandla sakho, isihlahla, igxalaba kunye nentamo ukukhangela naziphi na ezinye izizathu zoxinzelelo lwe-nerve. Ugqirha wakho uya kujonga izihlahla zakho ngeempawu zothantamiso, ukudumba, kunye nakuphi na ukukhubazeka. Baza kujonga uvakalelo kwiminwe kunye namandla emisipha esesandleni sakho.

Izifundo zokuqhutywa kwemithambo ziimvavanyo zokuqonda ezinokulinganisa isantya sokuqhuba kweempembelelo zakho zemithambo-luvo. Ukuba i-nerve impulse icotha kunesiqhelo njengoko i-nerve idlulela esandleni, unokuba ne-carpal tunnel syndrome.

I-carpal tunnel syndrome inyangwa njani?

Unyango lwe-carpal tunnel syndrome luxhomekeke ekubeni zibuhlungu kangakanani iintlungu kunye neempawu zakho kwaye ukuba kukho ubuthathaka. Ngo-2008, iAkhademi yoNyango lwamaZwe yakhupha izikhokelo zonyango olusebenzayo lwe-carpal tunnel. Ingcebiso yayikukuzama ukulawula intlungu ye-carpal ngaphandle kotyando, ukuba kunokwenzeka.

Izinketho ezingafunekiyo zibandakanya:

• ukunqanda izikhundla ezigqithisa isandla sakho
• iziqwenga zesandla ezibambe isandla sakho kwindawo yokungathathi cala, ngakumbi ebusuku
• amayeza eentlungu amancinci kunye namayeza ukunciphisa ukudumba
• Unyango lwazo naziphi na iimeko ezinokubakho, ezinjengesifo seswekile okanye isifo samathambo
• Inaliti ye-steroid kwindawo yakho ye-carpal tunnel ukunciphisa ukudumba

Utyando lunokuba yimfuneko ukuba kukho umonakalo omkhulu kwi-nerve median yakho. Utyando lwe-carpal tunnel syndrome lubandakanya ukusika ibhanti yethishu esihlahleni esiwela i-median nerve ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kwi-nerve yakho. Izinto ezimisela impumelelo okanye ukusilela ziindidi zesigulana, ubude beempawu, isifo seswekile, kwaye ukuba kukho ubuthathaka (obuhlala luphawu lwasemva kwexesha). Isiphumo sihlala silungile.

Ndingayikhusela njani i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Unokuyithintela i-carpal tunnel syndrome ngokwenza utshintsho kwindlela ophila ngayo ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokuyiphuhlisa.

Ukunyanga iimeko ezinje ngeswekile, uxinzelelo lwegazi, kunye nesifo samathambo kunciphisa umngcipheko wokuphuhlisa i-carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ukuhlawula ngononophelo kwisimo sokuma kunye nokuphepha imisebenzi egqithisa ngaphezulu isihlakala sakho nazo zibalulekile izicwangciso zokunciphisa iimpawu. Ukuzivocavoca umzimba kunokuba luncedo ngokunjalo.

Ithini imbono yexesha elide?

Ukunyanga i-carpal tunnel syndrome yakho kwangoko ngonyango lomzimba kunye notshintsho kwindlela yokuphila kunokukhokelela kuphuculo lwexesha elide, kunye nokuphelisa iimpawu.

Nangona kungenakulindeleka, i-carpal tunnel syndrome enganyangekiyo inokubangela ukonakala ngokusisigxina, ukukhubazeka, kunye nokuphulukana nokusebenza kwesandla.
