A member asked:
Hi i have caparl tunnel- like symptoms in my left hand. do these symptoms appear with other conditions, or is it almost assuredly carpal tunnel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, likely CTS.: If your symptoms involve only the median nerve, it is likely carpal tunnel but testing with Nerve Conduction Studies or Electromyography would help differentiate among other conditions that affect the nerves that originate from your back or from your muscles themselves. Approximately 65% of patients have bilateral symptoms of Carpal Tunnel.
