[QUOTE="Load Stand, post: 317302"] Each case is unique. Often this condition is not the result of occupational exposure and often CTS is mis-diagnosed. Jobs at UPS are rarely the cause of this. The fact that Work Comp handled these two cases means nothing, other than Liberty Mutual was too lazy to not question it. Search this topic on the internet, and you will see the variations on causality. Sometimes problems in the neck result in numbness in hands/wrist. Sometimes circulation issues present themselves with similar symptoms. You will see things such as hypertension and osteoarthritis play a big role in these problems. You will see alcoholism and obesity plays a big role as well. Pregnancy in fact is the biggest factor, as evidenced by the post earlier in this thread. Unless you are doing something at UPS that involves highly repititive "fine manipulation", this is usually something more common in females and develops as you age, and not often the result of occupational exposure. Several medical studies over the last few years are coming to that conclusion. [/QUOTE]
