How To Treat Severe Wrist Pain While Being Diagnosed For Hypothyroidism?
Hi,
I am Candice. I'm 31 years old, weight is 55kgs & height is 1.54 meters tall. I have been suffering with an aching pain in my right wrist. The pain sometimes travels up my arm & into the breast area where it aches. My hand also feels weaker than normal. I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism & I believe with this you can develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Should I be concerned about the pain?
Thank you

Hi
Hypothyroidism can cause Carpal tunnel syndrome but it doesn't present like this. It causes pain & numbness in thumb, index & middle fingers. You can take a simple painkiller like tab. paracetamol SOS. If pain still persists, then show to a doctor.
