Hi AAAA,
Thanks for the query.
Based on your description, you should consult an orthopedician. He/she will be able to examine and perform a few tests like blood test and X-rays to determine the cause.
Based on your description, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CPT) needs to be considered as a possibility especially in the background of hypothyroidism.
So I advise first to go for a X-ray of right hand both AP and oblique view including lower portion of forearm. After the x-ray is getting available you should consult an orthopedic surgeon for local examination and his opinion.
ESR 30 though by report may look abnormal but in clinical practice a value under is very rarely significant and does not entail further evaluation. So do not worry.
Hope I answered your queries. If you have further queries you may write back to me freely. I am always here to help you. Kindly write a review on this answer.
Wishing your wife quick recovery. God bless you both.
Regards,
Dr Arnab Maji
