Some medications can also produce these symptoms. I have osterporosis and tried 2 different once a week type meds, and felt as if I had carpel tunnel. Under doctor direction I went off each due to the symptoms, and everything cleared up. Now I'm using the nasel spray for osteo. So far so good. Thank goodness we discuss these things, the medical world is so vast...
