Anyone else have Carpal Tunnel!?!?

PonyMaidPonyMaid
in 2nd Trimester
I didn't even know it was something you could get when pregnant!  My right wrist down to my finger tips is KILLING me!!  I hurts so bad at night it wakes me up!  It really stinks since I am right handed and it hurts all day long.  My finger tips have even gone numb a few times.  My hands may be a little swollen but nothing too terrible.  Any of you ladies having/had this problem?  Is there anything that made it better?

    I am also having this problem and it is awful! It hurts sooo bad! Mine is especially bad right at my knuckles. All I have done for it so far is take some tylenol, but I am going to ask at my next dr. appt to see if they have any ideas.

    A friend of mine gave me an information sheet her doctor gave her with some helpful tips and exercises. If you want it email me at amandalucc @ hotmail.com and I'll send it your way.

    Some of the exercises helped me while other times there wasn't sh!t I could do to help it. For some people it goes away immediately at delivery...me not so much. It took months for the swelling and pain to go away.

    Oh Im so sorry for you! I had that with DD and it was MISERABLE! The good news is that it goes away almost immediately after giving birth. Sorry! Try a wrist band it helps!

    My chiropractor adjusts my hands and wrists, and it seems to help for at least a week or so.

    i had this with my last pregnancy, it was so bad at the end i couln't sign my name. the only thing that really helped me was wearing the wrist guards that my docs told me to get. i had to wear them all the time or i had no relief.

    the doc also said taht he could give me injections in my hands but I passed on that one

    i've had terrible CT during and since my last pregnancy!  the only thing that works for me is to find a really good hand/wrist brace.  you can get them right at the drug store!  try them on first, you don't want to get home and have it feel wrong or not fit right!  sometimes it's caused by swelling, are you retaining water?

    good luck, get some relief!!

    ps, typing will also add to the pain, take little breaks.

    I've heard that acupuncture can help with carpal tunnel.  It's next on my list of things to try.  I wear wrist braces at night when it's the worst but I really don't want to wear them all the time.

    I have it so bad that it actually feels like my hand is breaking...obviously it isn't.  I haven't heard of any cures for this but would love someone to give me one.  It wakes me up at night and seems to get better throughout the day and then comes right back while I am sleeping.  Uggggghhhhh!
