Hello,

Carpal tunnel syndrome only does not cause a tingling sensation. Unilateral tingling may be because of any nerve irritation anywhere in the body.

Yes, as you say it could be wrist. We need to find the etiology of carpal tunnel syndrome. Or with the simple examination, we could have got some clues. But for now, nothing can be done.

We can give symptomatic treatment. Vitamin B12 tablets especially Neurobion Forte drug is the best for nerve irritation. It grows the nerve and helps in the healing process.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
