Hands hurting?

Question

Does anyone’s hands hurt? Mine get tingly from time to time but I know it’s because I’m sleeping on my side and pinching the nerve, but during the day they hurt to close a fist. I am 21+6. Not sure if this is common?

Answer

I’ve had this problem for two years now! It’s the worst in the winter, and in the mornings- when I am experiencing symptoms. I’m 18w6d with my first and haven’t noticed any change in my symptoms, but I was never able to have a doctor diagnose what the problem was either. Both my hands fall asleep pretty easily, but more often in the morning and at night. In the morning I can barely squeeze face wash out of the tube to wash my face, or make a fist!

Answer

Sounds like it may be carpel tunnel. Got it bad at the end of my last pregnancy. Everyday I would wake up to my middle, ring and pinky finger completely numb. My fingers would hurt and it was hard to use my hands (tasks like opening jars where impossible). This pregnancy the tingling comes and goes. Sometimes I wake up to numb fingers :( try brace at night, it’s suppose to help!

Answer

I get this if I sleep with my wrist bent. Also, are you on the computer a lot? May be carpal tunnel.
