It’s so strange. I almost made it to 5 years on AI and then developed tendinitis, in both hands, worse on dominant hand. I went to my husband’s hand surgeon who gave me cortisone at 2 sites on one hand and a brace like you would wear for carpal for 5 weeks. He said my finger joints were inflamed and to take turmeric and ginger. I have similar pain on the inside of both knees and backs of both ankles. I am too burned out to see an orthopedic or rheumatologist right now. But it is also tendinitis. As I was sorting my papers for all my 5 year follow-ups I came across the carpal tunnel/ tendinitis side effect on the list. I just can’t believe it took so long but maybe I am completely drying up, since they can’t find my ovaries either!
