Can wrist curls using dumbbells contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome? trying to build up my forearms.

Potential: It does have the potential to aggravate précis ting carpal tunnel syndrome, and may contribute to causing it as well. That is not to say you should not do it, but if you start getting numbness in your radial three fingers this may be the cause.

Ans: A repetitive use of the wrists can inflame the sheath through which the median nerve passes. Be careful if any repetitive usage.
