Carpal Tunnel Postpartum?

Question

Did anyone have what appears to be carpal tunnel syndrome postpartum, when you didn’t have any symptoms during pregnancy?

Answer

Yes! It was shit. Took weeks to go away. My hands had constant pins and needles, it made using my hands really hard because they would burn if I put pressure on them. It did go away though, I just have some twinges every now and again. I got some cheap wrist braces that I did up quite tight around my wrists. The physio I saw said compression can help with the swelling. 
It's hard, because there's not a whole lot you can do to help it when you have to care for a newborn. I hope it clears up for you ASAP.

Answer

I did but didn’t. I held my son in one arm constantly. Slept that way with him. Snuggles. The works. My wrist was destroyed. It was horrendous pain but it went away. 
I did have mild carpal tunnel before pregnancy but no symptoms until after I gave birth. They have since disappeared again. My son is almost 4 months.
