Carpal tunnel can develop from chemical exposures too, although
that is not recognized by traditional doctors. They only
recognize repetative movements as the cause. I didn't do
repetatve work! I developed bilateral carpal tunnel from
exposures at work in a chemical factory. I had the surgeries
but the problems came back when I returned to work. Later I was
diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.
