Does drinking alcohol effect carpal tunnel?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by repetitive actions, such as typing, or playing a musical instrument. Drinking will not cause Carpel Tunnel as long as you switch hands every 2.7 minutes.. :) Sorry. Couldn't resist a little levity. I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome many years ago. The Orthopedic Surgeon said that in my case it was most likely caused by the repetitive motions required when playing musical instruments. I had heard that gout could be aggravated by alcohol intake and so I asked him if that was true about CTS. His answer was, "There is no evidence of that that I am aware of." Still, I switch hands every 2.7 minutes, just to be on the safe side. BTW, the surgery was almost painless.
