Eligard: any correlation with carpal tunnel?
New here. Diagnosed with prostate cancer. Radiation treatment ended. Need to be on eligard for 2 years. I am 3 doses in and just like that diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel in both wrists! Curious if anyone has heard of a correlation?

Its disheartening to hear, as it seems Eligard is to blame, but yet the Oncologist said he had never heard of this.
Efigard is similar to Erleada (a second generation ADT inhibitor). I was on Erleada and lupron for a year thereafter I had painful hand and joint issues. I visited a rheumatologist who gave me 2 series of steroid shots and advised me that this is sometimes a side effect of lupron and Erleada . The injections made it better but less than good.
