Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome should be taken in consideration and evaluated further in your case.

Medical examination by a Neurosurgeon and nerve conduction study of both arms are necessary.

If diagnosis is confirmed, surgical decompression of median nerve is necessary.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you futher.

Kind regards.
