Is this still Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?!

So I've had the usual symptoms of carpal tunnel - the tingling...numbness from wrist to fingers and small amount of pain but nothing too drastic...the last couple of nights, however, have been HORRIBLE....in the middle of the night and when I wake up my arms fall asleep and when I try to move my hands it's is extremely difficult to make a fist and my knuckles buckle up...it would take about 10 minutes to get my hands warmed up to even function...anyone else? I don't think it's such a horrible symptom that I'd have to call my midwife about it...WDYT??

Re: Is this still Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?!

  • Mine are this way too.  When I get up in the morning I can barely pull the covers off of myself because of the carpal tunnel.  It's hard to hold anything for almost an hour.  Usually though a warm shower helps my hand a little bit except for writing!  Ugh!  My doctor says it's normal and that it will go away after the birth of the baby.
