Hello,
Thyroid problem I assume hypothyroidism.
In the presence of hypothyroidism it make control of blood sugar a problem.
So the thyroid function test as to be done in regular intervals(Once in six months) and controlled well with adjustment of the thyroxin.
One of the complications of Hypothyroidism is carpal tunnel syndrome where the nerves are compressed at the wrist joint.
It caused shooting and burning of the hand.
Consult you doctor for more help.
