Once again, I have to ask...have you been tested for celiac disease/gluten intolerance? Many people who can not eat gluten have neuro symptoms.

I did not see men often with carpal tunnel. Men are just not that subject to it.
It's very common for men and women alike to have carpal tunnel when gluten intolerant. Carpal tunnel was one of my biggest symptom, along with the stomach issues. Many gluten intolerants though, never have stomach issues, their worst symptoms are neuropathy. At your age, it is very rare to have carpal tunnel, there usually is something else behinds it. My youngest son, is 28, and just had carpal tunnel surgery 2 months ago, was tested for celiac this week, no results yet.
