In reply to All this and carpal tunnel syndrome too, posted by Dinah on March 24, 2005, at 20:07:05
Hi Dinah. Have you had an endocrine workup recently? I have been having a lot of symptoms suggestive of thyroid dysfunction, so I've doing doing some reading about thyroid disorders. Apparently, in many cases. there seems to be an association between carpal tunnel syndrome and hypothyroidism. There is an excellent website on thyroid disorders at About.com. I will look for the correct web address for you. In the mean time, I suggest that you not rush into surgery until you've ruled out possible underlying causes.
