Are Parkinson's Disease And Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Interrelated?

Hi, I have bilateral carpal tunnel but I find myself waking up doing the "pill rolling" movements of my right hand. It feels like I am getting a "pulling" from my forearm. My dad has Parkinson's and I was wondering if this is associated with carpal tunnel too?

Hi,

Parkinson’s and carpel tunnel are not related to each other.

You can consult a neurologist for further assessment.
