What is the "carpal tunnel"? Is that something only those with carpal tunnel syndrome have, or does everyone have it?

The redness is continuing to get lesser as time passes, and there never really was much swelling.

No tingling until after I have applied ice for over ten minutes..

Anyway, if I am understanding you correctly, the swelling in my wrist may have spurred something along the lines of temporary carpal tunnel as a result of the swelling pushing the nerves? And then perhaps the extreme cold exaggerated this?

Thanks for the reply. Great information; I just want to make sure I am understanding you correctly.
