Anybody get a diagnosis of carpal tunnel while going through the change?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I know it is more likely to be diagnosed in menopause or pregnancy because of the tissue changes surrounding the median nerve caused by hormones.

    Yepp. Went to physiotherapist after suffering for almost a year. Got hand braces to be worn at night. They seem to be working - at least for the time being.

    As I work with computers, I did not connect the pain / numbness in hands, fingers to menopause, but I did read here and at other sites that it very well may be related.
