Any tips on carpal tunnel?

Both my hands are terrible, I can’t bend my fingers, and can’t hold heavy things like a kettle as it hurts, struggle to type on a computer, struggle to hold a fork for long, have to take breaks when eating 😔 I went for a swim this morning which helped, but it got bad again after lunch. I’m wearing the wrist brace but doesn’t seem to do much!

So sorry you’re going through this. I have it too and it’s so bad. I called my physiotherapist and was also told just to wait it out. Massage and a brace and ice was suggested. Nothing has worked. Some stretches provide a little relief but nothing has solved it sadly. ☹️ best of luck!

Omg it’s the absolute worst isn’t it! Trying to pull yourself up in bed or turn over kills as well because hands and wrists are so sore! I find mine eases throughout the day but some mornings are horrific! I’m yet to find anything that works other than just keep massaging it with hand cream. It sometimes just helps to know it’s not just you 🫶🏻

Sorry you’re going through this! I had this with my first - I found the mornings the worst and I’d get straight in the shower and hot water on my wrists would provide some relief. Sleeping in the splits helped a bit too. But sadly it’s a waiting game. Just another ‘oh yeh it’s normal in pregnancy’ thing people expect you to live with! I found making my sons bottles and feeding him excruciating for the first few months. Good luck it disappears asap! x
