Hello,
The hypothyroid condition gives rise to edema in soft tissue of various parts of the body, one of which is wrist region and retinaculum around the wrist joint space. It is the compression of underlying nerve structures which gives rise to throbbing, numbness, tingling over the hands from proximal compression level. The control of thyroid hormone level with anti inflammatory agents help great to control the pain in the hands and fingers.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
