It's not carpal tunnel - Now that I'm off the Zyprexa, the swelling is completely gone. There was never wrist swelling in either case.
I'm starting to worry that I have permanent neurologic damage in these fingers. I am forcing myself to use them as much as possible, although the ends feel completely dead, and there is pain when I press on them.
The thing that pisses me off the most is that I'm a piano player. If it had to be something, why couldn't it have been a different body part... ?
Again, does anyone know why Zyprexa causes this side effect, and does anyone know if Abilify would be likely to do so as well?
Pdoc isn't going to put me on any other AS meds until the fingers are back to normal...
