Carpal tunnel/ wrist and hand pain

4 replies

I'm nearly 35 weeks and have suddenly developed right wrist and hand pain.. it's actually excruciating. Worse at night and in the morning. I can barely hold a pen.
My GP said it was pregnancy carpal tunnel which will go once baby comes but I honestly don't know how I can last until then.
It's waking me at night.

Has anyone had this? Any remedies?

Thanks

I had it when pregnant with my twins, my go offered me a wrist splint to ease the pain- perhaps that may work for you too?

You need to get splints.

I've had terrible pain from carpal tunnel - although not while pregnant - and a wrist splint helped massively. I wore it 24/7 unless I couldn't physically do something with it on.

I had it from week 36! It was horrendous but I promise It dissapears once baby is born. Xx
