Eligard: any correlation with carpal tunnel?

@pkren, there are quite a few discussions about Eligard in the prostate cancer support group. See all here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/prostate-cancer/?search=eligard&index=discussions
For this reason, I expanded the title of your discussion to reflect the question. I'm also tagging fellow members like @q95oldies @russb @johnt0707 @web265 @hbp who may have experiences to add.
Pkren, any change over the past days?

I am curious is anyone who has ended treatment with Eligard (2 years needed for me) that the symptoms went away?

Thank you. I had the painful needle test for Carpal Tunnel and the labs results showed 'severe secondary carpal tunnel in both hands'. This is too coincidental in the drs. own words, yet, the prostate oncologist said he has never heard of this, hence my reach out.
I have lost feeling and have tingling in at least 3-4 fingers on each hand. I cannot do my hobby work. I have been referred to a carpal tunnel wrist surgeon. I hate to go the surgeon route but, if I have to be on this for 2 years, its sounding like this is a side effect.
