I had this with Nicholas and it's come back again, it hurts like a mofo ... aaaaaand i'm sure all the texting i've been doing isn't helping either.

Ugh-I remember this and it SUCKS! Are you able to wear wrist braces? Hope it subsides soon....I want to say it lasted several months post-partum for me. Do you remember how long it lasted with N?

I read this article today, too!  I have it too (at least that's what I think I have)!  I thought it was the beginning of carpal tunnel, but not when I have shooting pain down my forearm if I bend it too far in a certain way.

I totally had this too (still do occasionally) and had no clue what was up. Yikes.

I had that about 3 months ago. I went to Walmart and got a wrist brace that immobalized the thumb also. I was better in a day, but wore it for another day or so to give it some more time. It hasn't flared up since.

But, yeah, it did hurt like a MoFo!

I had it almost the entire 6 months after N was born and then had it for about another 1-2months during the 1st tri.  Then it stopped...and now it's come back again. (  The worst part is that I have bone spurts on the inside of my wrists so the tendon actually *skips* over the bone spurt and it hurts soooooo bad....almost like a charley horse, but in your wrist.  ugh!
