thyroid cancer and carpel tunnel Posted: 01-19-08 06:50am
Hi, my husband had total thyroidectomy 3
years ago so is now on thyroxine. Ever
since the op he has had carpel tunnel
symtpoms in his left hand especially but
getting much worse just recently. Has
anyone else had the same since having
their thyroid removed?

Hi, ryll! Posted: 01-25-08 07:09am
Which symptoms he is mainly experiencing?
Do the carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms
interfere with his normal activities,
including sleep?
For how long they persist?

Hi, carpel tunnel is a symptom of low
parathyroid levels. He needs to have his
PTH and Calcium checked. Best of luck!

He'll need to check his substitutive
therapy. Low levels of thyroid hormones
are leading to carpal tunnel syndrome.
