Other Treatments
Recall I said other conditions that can cause carpal tunnel include thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, fractures, fluid retention from menopause or pregnancy, etc. One of the potential treatment options for these conditions is to treat the underlying conditions that cause carpal tunnel. Rheumatoid arthritis [10] is also one of the conditions that account for carpal tunnel. This condition is characteristic of an autoimmune [11] condition that can cause pains and damage in your joints. It can affect one or all the parts of joints in your body. If it affects one leg, it can affect the other. It is characterized by joint swelling, joint stiffness, and joint pain.
