A member asked:
I have hypo thyroidism, i was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in my hands from this, will it eventually go away?

Maybe.: Carpal tunnel syndrome is not related to your hypothyroid unless of course you were wildly out of control for a while. If this was the case you may get better with time. Otherwise, cts may go away if you wear splints regularly and take nsaid's and avoid wrist stress, .

Maybe: First correct the underlying thyroid issue. If it doesn't resolve then the carpal tunnel may be unrelated to your thyroid and need treatment as well.
