I perform repetitive activities at work. Could this cause carpal tunnel syndrome? Work-related activities are thought to play a small role in developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Non-work-related activities such as sports, hobbies and your daily activities also play a key role in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Other contributing factors can be body dimensions and other medical conditions. I'm in my 40s, and I think I have arthritis. I am too young for this, aren't I? Arthritis in your 40's is not uncommon. However, your condition may not be arthritis. Most shoulder problems involve the soft tissues — muscles, ligaments and tendons — rather than bones. Most of these problems fall into three major categories: tendinitis/bursitis, injury/instability, and arthritis. A tendon is the cord which connects muscle to bone. Sometimes, excessive use of the shoulder leads to inflammation and swelling of a bursa, a condition known as bursitis. Bursitis often occurs in association with rotator cuff tendinitis. There are many types of arthritis, but generally it involves wear and tear changes with inflammation of the joint, causing swelling, pain and stiffness. Arthritis may be related to sports/work injuries or simple aging.
