Clayton,

The center is actually the Median nerve.  The Radial runs closer to the ball of 
the thumb.  Although there are several repetitive stress injuries that effect 
the hand, carpal tunnel issues effect the median nerve and can be brought on by 
trauma and repetitive stress (grocery clerks used to often get it until they 
redesigned the scanners). When the synovial sheath is swollen it puts pressure 
on the median nerve causing pain numbness usually in the index and middle 
fingers.  Unfortunately, once the synovial sheath is swollen, it generates 
friction on the tendons which aggrevates it more.  That swelling is why carpal 
tunnel is so hard to fix even with surgery.  Many of the glove manufacturers 
learned to put pads on both sides of the median nerve but that tends to put 
pressure on the radial and ulner nerves.  I’ve found that riding the front 
curves of the albastache tends to put the most pressure on the ulnar nerve.  
This diagram does a pretty decent job of showing what effects what:

pressure as often as possible.
