    Yep in my left hand since about 36 weeks. It got worse for me too after I delivered but now it's finally starting to become less numb at almost 5 wks pp. I just bought a brace too and now I don't think I'm gonna need it.

    Mine is 95% gone now at 6wks, but it was still going strong for the first few weeks pp.

    Ouch!  I wore braces at night during pregnancy and was thrilled that I haven't needed them PP.  If you're tingling that much you might see about getting a chiropractic adjustment,  you could have a pinched nerve or something causing it.  Hope it goes away soon!

    I had bad carpel tunnel from around 30 wks on. It was significantly better within a day after birth, and while I still have numbness, it is not at all painful (it would wake me up at night). Ice only worn my braces a couple times since then (17 days).
    Do you have a lot of swelling? Have you tried braces? If not, I would.

    This. Even after the vast majority of my swelling subsided the carpal tunnel was still going strong. Just in the past day or two it has eased a lot. I'm hoping it goes entirely soon. Hope you feel better soon too OP!

    I had bad carpel tunnel on my right wrist from about week 36 and it got so much worse the further I got along in my pregnancy. It has settled down a slight bit since giving birth, but it's definitely still there!

    It seems like most of swelling is gone but I still can't get wedding bands ovr my knuckle so joints are swollen I guess. I do try to wear the braces @ night. I also have had some pain in knees lately & wonder if something more is going on...hoping just old age.

    My knees bothered me the LSAT few weeks of pregnancy;I think it's pretty normal BC they are subjected to carrying so much extra weight.
    I wonder if you could find any relief from icing your wrists...
