Carpal Tunnel Relief

[dons88]

Hi girls, I hope you're all keeping well. I'm 36+3 and am starting to get very achey fingers. I wouldn't say the pain is severe enough to seek medical help but it is uncomfortable - does anybody have any tips for relieving it?? X

Thanks for your reply Neska, the pain really ramped up a notch last night - pregnancy is the weirdest thing! Glad to hear yours has eased off, I'll just have to put up for another couple of weeks x

Mine disappeared post-natally too. The only things really available are: rest, ice, compression and elevation, given NSAIDS are obviously out...

Unfortunately my carpal tunnel (median nerve) as been replaced by ulnar nerve compression on my left, secondary to breast feeding and LO's head squishing my cubital tunnel!! :-/. Oh! The joys of Mother Nature (who is clearly actually FATHER Nature ) - cures one problem but gives you a new one!!
