CO-EXISTENT PROBLEMS WITH CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME:
Carpal tunnel syndrome often co-exists with neck problems, diabetic neuropathy and even multiple sclerosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is always a good policy to remove from the sum total of the picture the contribution coming from the carpal tunnel syndrome and then to deal with the more complicated issues (MS/neck problems) after that.
