Never: Cts does not cause your arms to go numb. There must be another reason, i.e. Toc or cervical in origin are but a couple of sources.

Depends: Carpal tunnel syndrome can make your arm go numb. Get a hand surgery consult and have a nerve conduction study done. The symptoms can worsen over time and the longer it goes untreated the higher the chance of nerve damage.

Varies: Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness and tingling in the hand. If it is persisting that is a sign of more sever damage and should be evaluated by a hand surgeon.

It depends...: With appropriate conservative treatment, carpal tunnel syndrome can be successfully addressed and can be resolved. However, severe or long-standing carpal tunnel syndrome often requires surgical intervention to improve symptoms. Without intervention, these symptoms can become permanent.
