Can a pinched nerve in your wrist cause tingling?

I am a 39 year old male. I wonder can a pinched nerve in your wrist cause tingling?

Yes, it can. Such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Yes. The most common nerve that is "pinched" at the wrist is the median nerve and when this occurs, it is called carpal tunnel syndrome. This results in numbness and tingling in the hand. If these are your symptoms, I suggest you consult a specialist to get a proper diagnosis. Good luck!
