Carpal tunnel
Hi there After 12 months on Letrazole with minimal side effects I have developed carpal tunnel sydndrome. It started slowly with my right thumb , I started wearing a splint at night as suggested by ...
Forum Discussion
Thanks @FLClover
My oncologist started talking about surgery and how it could be age related and I said “ hold on there - what about a short Letrazole holiday to see if it really is causing it and if it is maybe we can try another AI”
She has agreed to that and I’m going to take a 3 week holiday from the Letrazole ( have been on it 12 months) to see what happens.
I never would have thought to ask that if it wasn’t for forums like this.
I am wearing a splint at night but find that by mid afternoon it is really troubling me, not enough to take painkillers but close - I rub some anti arthritis cream on it which seems to give a bit of relief.
My GP did suggest Cortisone injections too and I may go that route in the end but not just yet.
I had a couple of sessions of acupuncture which didn’t do much but may go back for more after the drug holiday.
I realty don’t want yet another surgery if I can help it!
