A member asked:
I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and every morning when i wake up and stretch my wrists and hands basically crackle. is this from the cts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say?: Think of it this way, whatever it is that is causing the 'crackle' may be the same thing causing the carpal tunnel. If clinically relevant, I do screen CTS patients for gout and rheumatoid arthritis but again, only if they tell me something in the history that makes me believe this is a possibility or likewise I see something on exam to suggest these.
