Hi all,

I get sore joints is a part of pregnancy. My knees and ankles have been hurting for a while, but manageable.
Recently, my wrists, fingers and toes have been hurting...like really sore and stiff!!
Is this carpal tunnel syndrome? I read its common in pregnancy to have.
Any recommendations to ease the pain as it's really sore.

How far along are you?
I had this at 18 weeks, I was crying on occasions my joints hurt so much. It is not me, I walked on my broken leg for 6 weeks before getting it checked ( i thought it was just a sprain)
It stopped at about 20 weeks, I’m now 30 weeks and get bad hip and knee pain, but only because I’m having to sleep on my side.

@Em39ma

I'm 27 weeks. The knees basically hurt when going up the stairs. Ankles is more like in the morning or when I have been sitting for a while and then get up to walk.
But the fingers, toes and wrists is all the time.

Feeling your pain..I'm 33 weeks and my hands in particular have been bad for the last couple of weeks.
Think I definitely have a touch of carpal tunnel as I've got numbness most mornings which fades. The general ache in my fingers does linger though. Legs are achy too and I've had knee injuries/surgeries so pain there for me is a given..
Hope you're ok

Oh no, hope you feel better soon and it all eases up!
