Hypo and Carpal Tunnel?
| Mon, 07-12-2004 - 9:55am |
I'm hypo and have been on Synthroid for a few months now with good results. However, the past month or so I have started experiencing pain in my wrists. The pain is not in my hands, only my wrists and I have not had any tingling in my hands. The other symptom I have noticed is that sometimes the top of my hand will feel like it is on fire (when my wrist is hurting).
I know that being hypothyroid puts me more at risk of carpal tunnel. My other concern is rheumetoid arthritis. (My maternal grandmother suffers from this.) And I know I am also more at risk of this too. Has anyone had similar symptoms?
Thanks.
Danielle
