Carpal tunnel???

Question

I am 32 weeks and for the last week or so my hands have been in so much pain BUT only when I wake up. It disappears after about 5 min and I'm good for the rest of the day. I stopped working at 20 weeks and havnt been doing anything to cause carpal tunnel. I've never had this issue before. When I wake up, all of my fingers feel broken and it's extremely painful. During the night I cant even flip my pillow with my hands, I have to use my forearms.
I just assume its pregnancy carpal tunnel from what I've found online. Anyone experiencing the same or something similar?

Answer

Yes it’s carpal tunnel syndrome. Very common during pregnancy. I have it in my right hand and it makes it go numb depending on what I’m doing with my hand.

Answer

Carpal tunnel could be relieved if you try sleeping with wrist braces on at night. This eliminates you curling your hand inward and pinching of your carpal tunnel. If that doesn’t help it’s caused by inflammation. Hopefully the symptoms will go away after birth. Most common early symptoms are numbness in the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger.

Answer

Yes so horrible

Answer

I’m a dental hygienist and am dealing with this. I can’t even Clean teeth properly I don’t know how I’m going to make it another month. I started sleeping in braces and that helps them feel ok in the morning but they still aren’t perfect. I’m too the point of 24/7 numbness in the right one.
