Numb hands
Hey all! I had a history of carpel tunnel syndrome (numb hands and wrists) before pregnancy and since 31 weeks ish it’s started to flare up. Mostly in the mornings, when driving the car or sat with my arms by my sides.
Anyone else? Apparently it’s very common in 3rd trimester with 60% of women having some type of symptom of it?
I’ve been to the midwife and gp and they just recommend moving it and doing physio but it’s really painful!!

Wrist splints saved me xx
I feel your pain, I've had it bad since 20 weeks, I'm in constant pain all day and all night in both hands and wrists, I've been using splints and I've had steroid injections which worked for about 2 weeks, I'm doing regular exercises from the physio but nothing really seems to work for long periods, I've been seeing an osteopath every 4 weeks since Jan for PGP and Sciatica which has completely resolved but even he is baffled by the pain in my wrists and hands and why when I see him it only resolves for a day maybe 2 if I'm lucky.
