Lyme can cause symptoms of carpal tunnel.

Carpal tunnel is pressure on the nerve -

I think Lyme could cause inflammation of that particular nerve

Also maybe tight tendons/muscles from Lyme could produce pressure on that nerve.

I have only lyme - no bart or babesia and I have been struggling with carpel tunnel. It takes a long time to settle down and I tried red light and massage but only glucosamine and rest worked.

I had numbness in my hands which i think is a symptom of carpal tunnel too.
