I had this when pg, I had a special ice pack that fixes around the wrist. I also rested. It definitely helped. But it finally went a few months after giving birth. Are you taking anti inflammatories? Hope it gets better soon.

I want one of those!

I do however have a PeppaPig one that I can use instead of the boring small blue one I have been using

It's now June and it's still bloody awful

Neither physio nor acupuncture have helped significantly

Any suggestions?
