I'm not a doctor, but the way I understand it is it blocks
the uptake of some essential nutrient to nerve bundles.
If you have minor (normally symptomless) tightening
of the Carpal ligament (from lifting too heavy of things)
that can pinch the nerves a little bit, then the combination
of Nutra-Sweet chemical blocking, and poor circulation
to the nerves can cause them to ache.

In my case when I stopped consuming Diet sodas that
had Nutra-Sweet in them I felt better... when I got
lazy about avoiding them and had a few drinks that had
Nutra-Sweet the symptoms came back for a few days.
