Sifaka imikhiqizo esicabanga ukuthi ilusizo kubafundi bethu. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi ezikuleli khasi, singathola ikhomishini encane. Nansi inqubo yethu.

Yini i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

I-Carpal tunnel syndrome ukucindezelwa kwemizwa yangaphakathi njengoba idlulela esandleni. I-median nerve itholakala ohlangothini lwesandla sakho (esibizwa nangokuthi umhubhe we-carpal). I-nerve median inikeza ukuzwa (amandla okuzwa) kusithupha sakho, umunwe wenkomba, umunwe omude, kanye nengxenye yomunwe wendandatho. Inikeza umfutho emsipheni oya esithupheni. I-Carpal tunnel syndrome kungenzeka kwesinye sezandla zakho noma zombili.

Ukuvuvukala ngaphakathi kwesihlakala sakho kubangela ukucindezelwa ku-carpal tunnel syndrome. Kungaholela ekubeni ndikindiki, ukuba buthakathaka, nokushosheka ohlangothini lwesandla sakho eduze kwesithupha.

Yini ebangela i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Ubuhlungu emhubheni wakho we-carpal kungenxa yengcindezi eyeqile engalweni yakho nasenjunjini yomphakathi. Ukuvuvukala kungadala ukuvuvukala. Isizathu esivame kakhulu salokhu kuvuvukala yisimo sezempilo esingaphansi esidala ukuvuvukala esihlakaleni, futhi kwesinye isikhathi kuvimbe ukugeleza kwegazi. Ezinye zezimo ezivame kakhulu ukuxhunyaniswa ne-carpal tunnel syndrome yilezi:

• isifo sikashukela
• ukungasebenzi kwegilo
• ukugcinwa koketshezi kusuka ekukhulelweni noma ukuya esikhathini
• umfutho wegazi ophakeme
• iziyaluyalu zomzimba ezifana nesifo samathambo
• ukuphuka noma ukuhlukumezeka esihlakaleni

I-Carpal tunnel syndrome ingenziwa ibe yimbi kakhulu uma isihlakala sandiswa kakhulu kaninginingi. Ukunyakaza okuphindaphindiwe kwesihlakala sakho kunegalelo ekuvuvukeni nasekucindezelweni kwemizwa yangaphakathi. Lokhu kungaba umphumela we:

• ukubeka izihlakala zakho ngenkathi usebenzisa ikhibhodi noma igundane lakho
• ukuvezwa isikhathi eside kokudlidliza kusuka ekusebenziseni amathuluzi esandla noma amathuluzi kagesi
• noma yikuphi ukunyakaza okuphindaphindwayo okweqa kakhulu isihlakala sakho, njengokudlala upiyano noma ukuthayipha

Ngubani osengozini ye-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Abesifazane banamathuba aphindwe kathathu okuba ne-carpal tunnel syndrome kunamadoda. I-Carpal tunnel syndrome ivame ukutholakala phakathi kweminyaka yobudala engama-30 nengama-60. Izimo ezithile zandisa ubungozi bokuzihlakulela, kubandakanya isifo sikashukela, umfutho wegazi ophakeme nesifo samathambo.

Izici zokuphila ezingakhuphula ubungozi be-carpal tunnel syndrome zibandakanya ukubhema, ukudla usawoti okuphezulu, indlela yokuphila, kanye nenkomba yomzimba ephezulu (BMI).

Imisebenzi ebandakanya ukunyakaza kwesihlakala esiphindayo ifaka phakathi:

• yokukhiqiza
• umsebenzi womugqa womhlangano
• imisebenzi yekhibhodi
• umsebenzi wokwakha.

Abantu abaqashwe kule misebenzi bangaba sengozini enkulu yokuthola i-carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ziyini izimpawu ze-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Izimpawu zivame ukutholakala endleleni yezinzwa ngenxa yokucindezelwa kwe-nerve median. Isandla sakho kungenzeka "silale" njalo bese siwisa izinto. Ezinye izimpawu zifaka:

• ukuba ndikindiki, ukuncinza, nobuhlungu esithupheni sakho nakuminwe yakho emithathu yokuqala yesandla sakho
• ubuhlungu nokusha okuhamba phezulu ngengalo yakho
• Ubuhlungu besihlakala ebusuku obuphazamisa ukulala
• ubuthakathaka emisipheni yesandla

Ihlonza kanjani i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Odokotela bangakwazi ukuxilonga i-carpal tunnel syndrome besebenzisa inhlanganisela yomlando wakho, ukuhlolwa ngokomzimba, kanye nokuhlolwa okubizwa ngokuthi yi-nerve conduction studies.

Ukuhlolwa komzimba kufaka phakathi ukuhlolwa okuningiliziwe kwesandla sakho, isihlakala, ihlombe nentamo ukubheka noma yiziphi ezinye izimbangela zengcindezi yezinzwa. Udokotela wakho uzobheka izihlakala zakho ukuthola izimpawu zesisa, ukuvuvukala, nanoma yikuphi ukukhubazeka. Bazobheka ukuzwa iminwe namandla emisipha esesandleni sakho.

Izifundo zokuqhuba imithambo izivivinyo zokuxilonga ezingalinganisa ijubane lokuqhuba lemizwa yakho yezinzwa.Uma umfutho wezinzwa uhamba kancane kunokujwayelekile njengoba inzwa idlulela esandleni, ungahle ube ne-carpal tunnel syndrome.

I-carpal tunnel syndrome iphathwa kanjani?

Ukwelashwa kwe-carpal tunnel syndrome kuncike ekutheni buhlungu kangakanani izimpawu nezimpawu zakho nokuthi uma kukhona ubuthakathaka. Ngo-2008, i-Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons yakhipha imihlahlandlela yokwelashwa okusebenzayo komhubhe we-carpal. Isincomo bekuwukuzama ukuphatha ubuhlungu be-carpal tunnel ngaphandle kokuhlinzwa, uma kungenzeka.

Izinketho ezingekho embonini zifaka:

• ukugwema izikhundla ezandisa kakhulu isihlakala sakho
• izihlakala zesihlakala ezibambe isandla sakho zingathathi hlangothi, ikakhulukazi ebusuku
• imishanguzo yobuhlungu emincane nemithi yokwehlisa ukuvuvukala
• ukwelashwa kwanoma yiziphi izimo ezingaphansi ongaba nazo, njengesifo sikashukela noma i-arthritis
• imijovo ye-steroid endaweni yakho yomhubhe we-carpal ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala

Ukuhlinzwa kungadingeka uma kukhona ukulimala okukhulu emthanjeni wakho ophakathi. Ukuhlinzwa kwe-carpal tunnel syndrome kuhilela ukusika ibhande lezicubu esihlakaleni esinqamula imizwa ephakathi ukuze unciphise ingcindezi kunzipha yakho. Izici ezinquma ukuphumelela noma ukwehluleka iminyaka yesiguli, ubude bezimpawu, isifo sikashukela, futhi uma kukhona ubuthakathaka (okuvame ukuthi kube yisibonakaliso sekwephuzile). Umphumela uvame ukuba muhle.

Ngingayivimbela kanjani i-carpal tunnel syndrome?

Ungavimbela i-carpal tunnel syndrome ngokwenza izinguquko endleleni ophila ngayo ezinciphisa ubungozi bokuyithuthukisa.

Ukwelapha izimo ezinjengesifo sikashukela, umfutho wegazi ophakeme, nesifo samathambo kunciphisa ubungozi bokuthuthukisa i-carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ukunaka ngokucophelela ukuma kwesandla nokugwema izinto ezandisa kakhulu isihlakala sakho nakho kuyizindlela ezibalulekile zokunciphisa izimpawu. Ukuvivinya umzimba ngokwelashwa nakho kungasiza.

Uyini umbono wesikhathi eside?

Ukwelapha i-carpal tunnel syndrome yakho kusenesikhathi ngokwelashwa ngokomzimba kanye nokushintsha indlela ophila ngayo kungaholela ekwenzeni ngcono kwesikhathi eside, futhi kuqede nezimpawu.

Yize kungenzeki, i-carpal tunnel syndrome engalashwa ingaholela ekulimaleni unomphela kwezinzwa, ukukhubazeka, kanye nokulahleka kokusebenza kwesandla.
