Dr. Rohde:

Continued or persistent carpal tunnel syndrome, if it’s not treated, really this is a nerve compression diagnosis, and the problem or what causes the symptoms is that the nerve is losing its blood supply. So long-term, if left untreated, people can have permanent sequelae, like loss of sensation in their fingers and decreased dexterity in their thumb.
