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: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/d2/63/00d263b0aef6950308611260909af357.jpg
