Can carpal tunnel feel like tennis elbow?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not even remotely : Carpal tunnel presents with wrist and hand pain, with numbness and tingling usually involving the ring, middle, and index fingers and thumb. Most symptoms worse at night. Tennis elbow presents with specific pain over the outside of the elbow, specifically induced by certain gripping or grasping movements. Numbness is never part of tennis elbow.
