Lymphodema & Carpal Tunnel on same side

Does anyone else have Lymphodema and Carpal Tunnel affecting the same hand/arm? If so do you have any tips or does or don’ts? Visited Lymphodema clinic yesterday and it has increased to 40% up 6% in two months. My carpal Tunnel problem has also got worse over the same time courtesy of the tamoxifen. Feeling rather fed up as you can imagine. Also I have been recommended to wear one of the sleeves that you attach with velcro over your bra strap. Has anyone any experience of these?

Hi meggiemoo,
was wondering what Carpel Tunnel is?

Carpel Tunnel affects the nerves in the hand, especially the thumb and first two fingers, You get a burning sensation which is very unpleasant. It can be remedied by an operation, but as you can imagine I am extremely reluctant to have an op on my hand because of the lymphodema.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_Tunnel_syndrome has more info. It is a side effect of tamoxifen according to my oncologist

I actually have it in both my hands - lucky me!

Thanks for the info, am due to start Tamoxifen in March so will ask my onc about it.
