This site is maintained by a doctor with a longstanding research interest in CTS: carpal-tunnel.net/

And the NHS page: nhs.uk/Conditions/Carpal-tu...

Or try another community, like Pain Concern

Hi.

[helvella]

Kady,

Not an answer to your specific question. Sorry.

Many on the Thyroid UK forum believe that there can be a connection between hypothyroidism and carpal tunnel syndrome. Though there is uncertainty about the mechanism (is it due to a build up of mucinous deposits?, or changes to muscles? or something else?).

Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but I'd like to think that thyroid issues were always considered as a possible cause or contributory factor. Even when adequately treated, there can be a considerable time, months or years, between that treatment and resolution of symptoms.

I'm not sure what is causing this problem for me, but I'm happy to do whatever I can to find solutions.

I'm also happy to receive your reply, helvella.

Thank you. <3
