A member asked:
Please tell me can exercising my wrist muscles cause carpal tunnel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: If you are doing repetitive type exercises involving the wrist. Perhaps changing the exercises up a bit and using a wrist splint (like gymnasts wear) would help. Be sure you can be safe with the weights when the splint is on.
