Stiff wrist/ carpel tunnel?

Question

(Not pregnant) I woke up this morning thinking I slept with my wrists bent because they are super stiff and tight feeling. Both, but the left one more than the right one. If I rub my finger back and forth over my wrists the tingle. A few fingers felt a little tingling too. The weird stiffness stretches up my arm a little bit. I have ZERO pain. I do use my phone a lot. But I'm on prednisone and that could be a side effect? But does that sound like carpel tunnel??

Answer

maybe it arent exercing ? and moving around ? i had the same feeling and thought it was heart attack symptoms but it was all because i couldn't sleep and had sleep apnea.. if you are having that frequently see a doctor 🙏

Answer

It happens to me a lot. My Dr said there are like 7 nerves, and a bunch of tendons, arteries and veins and a bunch of other stuff that runs through the carpal tunnel in your wrists, (which is only about as big around as a pencil) if you leave it bent for too long those things pinch and swell and cause tingling and/or pain.... It can last for days/weeks... Wearing a wrist brace for a couple days helps me, the goal is to keep your wrist straight and immobile so that you dont pinch off that carpal tunnel any more. I wore my brace for two days straight, then switched to only wearing it at night until the tingling stopped. If I see it coming back I wear the brace again. Maybe try that or just make EVERY effort to keep your wrists perfectly straight for a few days.
