So I had carpal tunnel in my third trimester of my pregnancy over 2 1/2 years ago; but it went away basically with delivery.
Now I have what I would describe as painful numbness in my hands and fingers every single night and most days. I could just have carpal tunnel because I am a bookkeeper, but I also found where it is a side effect of femara. It started around the time I switched from clomid to femara.
I guess my question is has anyone else had these symptoms in femara? Did it go away?

@Sams Mom: interesting. My carpal tunnel symptoms came on when I started letrozole. I never thought of the correlation before. Mine wasn't that bad at first but I've never had it before. It got awful and I ended up getting an injection to help. I still have pain in my middle finger and I can't completely straighten it. I'm hoping I can get through the rest of this pregnancy without it getting worse again.
I'm sorry you have symptoms again! How many months have you been on letrozole?

@mediagirl: this is my first and it seems like I win all the oddball symptoms/side effects.
Carpal tunnel/painful numbness in hands and feet
Muscle fatigue & soreness
Dizziness
Then regular ovary stuff
But honestly it's not as bad for the most part as Clomid
