Please help-severe carpal tunnel pain

I’m waking up all hours of the night crying in pain. No matter what position I sleep in, my hand, wrist and arm are going numb and becoming so painful. I have to sit up or stand up straight to relive it.

Please tell me what I can do to relieve this. I can’t sleep. That pain is absolutely unbearable.

Same here . I place a pillow right behind my lower back and have have 3 other pillows going up my neck and head . I placed a small pillow behind my butt and I have another pillow between my legs. It does help but of course I have to switch sides often 😭

Try a wrist splint. You can get them at target and most pharmacies

Definitely a wrist splint. Keep your wrist in a neutral position throughout the night. Maybe ice will help too

I’m in the same exact boat mama. I had it with my first and I have it with this pregnancy..definitely something I did not miss. I use a magnesium spray and it works wonders. I’m also able to use it for back and joint pains. I waited so long to try it because I really couldn’t believe it would work and I regret not buying it sooner.

I've had carpal tunnel this whole time.. it's been brutal on my sleep. Magnesium, a wrist brace, and regular chiro appts have helped the most. Just keep trying things until you find what works for you!

I have a wrist soloing and it doesn't work as well as it did before pregnancy... but I've been having severe capital carpal tunnel since week 10... I'm 35 weeks 4 days and it's still the same!

I’ve been using a pregnancy pillow I got on Amazon for back discomfort and it helps a lot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08YYVRXLM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
