2 weeks pp and still have carpal tunnel syndrome

My hands are no longer swollen so I thought I'd be done with this.  My fingertips are perpetually numb and they ache - very difficult to change diapers with numb hands!  Anyone else still have it?

Re: 2 weeks pp and still have carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Yes! I still have it too! Typing this is not going well, but changing diapers and all those little snaps on the onesies are making for some frustrating times for me and the poor baby who has to deal with me taking way too long to get her dressed, etc.

    I'm hoping someone will respond to this post and tell us when this will end.

    GL!

  • I don't have it this time around (knock on wood) but I did with my son and unfortunately had it for a few months post baby before it finally went away!  I hope that is not the norm and you both are done with it much sooner.  Good luck!

  • I am still pregnant so I don't know about the pp carpal tunnel yet, but I know that about a month ago my doctor wrote me a prescription for bilateral wrist splints. I only wear them at night and barely have any symptoms any more. They have been a life saver! You can't get normal wrist splints, though. They have to be the bilateral ones. They are a little pricey if your insurance won't cover them, about $65/splint. Hope this helps!
