carpel tunnel help please

[nickizzy]

Can it last all day? I keep getting these shooting numbing pains not just in my hands but from my shoulder blades down my arm it really hurts but is worst in my hand. My doc has been rather useless with info. Anyone else have this and are there any tips or tricks to get rid of it or ease it.

I had the same problem actually that was one the first things that happen to me  how I found I was pregnant for me it went away doc just said just to hand exercises I hate it cause my whole arm well fell asleep a lot of numbness and tingling even when I would drive or be asleep I never had this problem with my other 2 pregnant so it was new too me

I'm pregnant with number 3 it was the first sign I new I pregnant.  With my other 2 it took a long while to come right after I had them. Try doing some wrist exercises to strengthen your wrists and braces. Try to spead out the jobs that make it worse pealing vegetables is the worst for me so I try to do them earlier in the day do I can come back to do more later. Sorry can't offer more help. All the best and hope yhe pain stays bearable.

The best way to reduce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome is to keep your hands elevated while resting, using wrist brace and reducing any repetitive motions that require twisting, pinching, typing.

I've had it for weeks now. My thumb, pointer, & middle finger tips are constantly numb & my hands are swollen. I sleep with a brace. It keeps the swelling down overnight but nothing relieves the numbness. 2 months to go & I can't wait to be able to feel again. Good luck.

I've it my entire pregnancy. Thank goodness I only have 2 weeks left but it still may linger after the baby's born. It's mostly in my left hand and wrist. My ring finger middle finger and thumb lock up. It helps when I take a shower and let the hot water run over my hands if I rotate my wrists and bend my fingers just to work out the kinks. Also I sleep with my hand wrapped up in an ace bandage and it helps with the swelling.

I have it as well and I asked my doctor for a splint it helps a little annoying but helps

Yeah wrist braces. Only things that worked for me. It goes.away after delivery..

[nickizzy]

Thanks I might invest in some wrist braces

[SeabeesWife2013]

While pregnant not a whole lot- I have it in my wrist and find a good wrist brace with the metal stabilizer is the only thing that helps- tylenol can help but not me so much

[nickizzy]

Thanks I've been using a pillow to keep me eleveated more but omg the pain is annoying and unwanted LOL. From what I have read it will go after bubs is born really hope this is true
