Carpal tunnel syndromes result due to the pressure in the median nerve in the wrist region.
However manytimes the same nerve can b trapped, or affected at multiple sites akong uts course.
This condition is known as the double crush syndrome.
Kindly consider it as ur differential.
U can start with physiotherapy, nerve health adjuvants,
If symptoms persist consider getting nerve conduction studies to find and eliminate potential pressure causing areas.
