wrist pain continues

Anyone else not have their pregnancy triggered wrist pains dissipate since giving birth or  is it just me? I'm over six weeks post partum and wondering when to see a doctor about it and what type of doctor is appropriate?

    Oh my gosh, I've been in agony for the last couple weeks.  I had no idea it was a pregnancy-related thing.  That actually makes me feel better; I thought I was getting tendonitis.

    My wrists are still killing me as well, especially around my thumbs.  I keep waiting "one more week" to let it get better before going to a doctor.

    Look up "Mommy Thumb"... It's also known as DeQuervain's syndrome and it's a form of tendinitis. I've even suffering from it for close to 5 weeks now and it's excruciatingly painful.

    I called my OB about it but they told me to see my primary doctor who diagnosed me. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory pill and advised me to wear thumb/ wrist stabilizing braces on both wrists. I was told that if that didn't fix it that we may have to move on to physical therapy and possibly cortisone injections (ouch!).
