After I had LO I thought the pain went away but it was the Percocet and subsequent Advil talking (I had a c-section). I'm 3 months pp now and my right wrist still hurts. Yup - the pain switched arms. My left wrist feels perfectly fine now. =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-while-pregnant#post-156118 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:31:11 +0000 lemondrop 156118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: hadn't heard of the vitamins for that, will have to look into that for next time. I wore the wrist braces at night and while typing since I was terrified of the idea of getting a steroid injection! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-while-pregnant#post-156089 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:13:23 +0000 banana 156089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh. This isn't making me feel better. haha.

I was diagnosed with wrist tendinitis 3 months after giving birth and I wear braces and take anti-inflammatory medication when I remember to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-while-pregnant#post-155983 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:50:30 +0000 AbbyCadabby 155983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it pretty bad. Wore a wrist brace but that didn't seem to help. The only thing that did help was finally getting that baby out! It started getting better a few weeks postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-while-pregnant#post-155606 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:05:47 +0000 Honeybee 155606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it during my pregnancy with DD; I wore a wrist brace at night and iced my wrists before bed, which helped a little. It finally went away like 6 weeks postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-while-pregnant#post-155192 Fri, 11 May 2012 06:02:35 +0000 pastemoo 155192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: ditto.<br /> i have it too (bilateral) plus swelling in my hands for 7 weeks now--wrist braces, lots of water and viy b1 and b6<br /> later:steroid injection </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-while-pregnant#post-155129 Fri, 11 May 2012 00:56:52 +0000 lemondrop 155129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely a miserable experience, took 8 weeks to mostly go away.

I actually kept waking up last night because of the burning sensation on my wrist and forearm! I've heard it's common during pregnancy but I never had it when I was pregnant with my son.</p> <p>Did you have carpal tunnel issues during pregnancy? If so, what helped alleviate the pain? </p>
