Yes it is possible.
Low thyroid leads to a deposition of a mucoid compound in the skin and along the tendons. This link shows it in the skin, but it can be deposited deeper...and can cause carpal tunnel. http://dermnetnz.org/immune/mucinoses.html can cause muscle problems: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10210791 http://thyroid.about.com/cs/symptoms...s/a/carpal.htm Have you purchased your wrist splints yet? They can be really helpful. You can wear them at night to protect the carpal tunnel ligaments in your hands. I still use them today, since my pregnancy 30+ yrs ago. But I cannot hold sewing needles yet, for more than 10 minutes...so the potential for me is still there.
