Can be serious: Polyneuropathy can have many causes. Most common cause if probably diabetes. Carpal tunnel compression of the median nerve at the wrist can occur independently from the neuropathy. You can try treating the carpal tunnel with a wrist splint. This may help the hands, but if other areas are starting to feel numb, let your doctor know.
