Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed or irritated. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hand and wrist.

Steroid injections, known as corticosteroid injections, can be one option for treating CTS. These injections work by reducing inflammation and relieving pressure on the median nerve. However, the decision to pursue this treatment is typically made by a healthcare professional after considering various factors such as the severity of symptoms, previous treatments, and other medical conditions.
