I am 5 months pregnant with my fourth child and suffering with almost constant pins and needles in my hands. I find that even simply pushing a pram or driving the car, my hands cannot be in one position for more than a few minutes without them tingling and going numb.
At nights I am awoken to find my hands completely numb, dead, no feeling at all. This can happen several times a night.
I also have sciatic pain down my left leg.
I am starting to worry as this problem with my hands seems to be getting worse. It can take me an hour or two in the mornings before I can actually grip something properly, opening a jar is almost impossible.
I am also getting pain from my left elbow down towards my fingers. A real aching pain.
If you could give me some idea as to what is causing this, I would greatly appreciate it.
