  I thought a week or 2 ago that it was really bad.  It's much worse now.  I want to cry over this, really.

  Yes!! I feel like I do nothing but complain about this to DH. Every day it seems to get worse. Night is the absolute worst and I'm lucky to sleep 2 hours (if I take benedryl). I figure I'll get more sleep than that when LO is actually here. I had no idea how much my hands could hurt.

  Mine has gotten progressively worse over the weeks. I barely have any feeling in them and they are super swollen. Can't wait until baby is born and it subsides!

  Textbook - yup, that's me.  They are literally numb and swollen with a constant tingle.

  I just reallllly hope it goes away or subsides immensely after delivery.

  I'm in the same boat ( My fingers hurt when I don't move them for a minute or two.. The stiff up and just KILL..Worst is during the night as well............And my wrists have started to be painful last week as well.

  ...I thought I was pretty much clear of new symptoms by 38wks, but NOPE. I hope this goes away fast after LO comes.

  Oddly enough, even with my carreer i dont have this problem.

  However, have you tried hot and cold therapy? Use a heat pad for like 10 minutes, then switch to ice pack for 10 minutes. alternate a few times back and forth?

  My mom used to do this for swollen joints on my grandma. It worked pretty good. Apparently the rotation of hot to cold to hot causes the tissues to swell and then shrink at a fast rate. Which in turn forces the junk in the tendons and muscles to release. Worked for sore muscles and for sore tendons and joints. Might be worth a try...?

  Oh yeah, hands and feet are sore and swollen. Last night after being at work at my desk and on my feet all day I looked down and saw I had no ankles. And my poor hands... ugh. So sore.

  Yeah.  It's awful and a symptom I didn't expect at all.  The last few nights wearing a wrist splint with a metal backing really helped me.  If it gets any worse, I'm going to ice it.

  It will!  I had it last time, too, and it went away pretty immediately after delivery.
