A member asked:
Does carpal tunnel syndrome caused by rheumatoid arthritis present differently than primary cts? e.g. slower atrophy due to rr wrist inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very similar: Tbe symptoms of CTS, irrespective of its etiology, are similar and are primarily due to narrowing of the joint spaces in the wrist area from where nerves travel to cause pain.
