A member asked:
Can severe carpal tunnel syndrome cause external bruising along the median nerve? if so, along the upper arm as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: by definition the issues of CTS are at the site where the nerves enter through the wrist (carpal) bones. Abnormalities in the further up the arm may have some shared symptoms, but it would not be called CTS.
