Carpal tunnel?

Question

The past week I have been waking up in the morning and my hands are super sore. Google tells me it's carpal tunnel and the providers I work with (I'm an RN in a family practice) say it's common. I have my 28 week appt on Jan 10th but just want to see if anyone else is experiencing this. My ankles have been swelling pretty significantly since about 20 weeks too. I don't feel like I'm eating super salty food and my blood pressure is always fine.

Answer

Yep, my dr says carpal tunnel too. My hands fall asleep constantly. One is falling asleep right now while I hold my phone and type this 😂 most often my hands fall asleep when I’m asleep, but sometimes it’s random too. Once when I was reaching for the door knob to shut my bedroom door 🤷🏼‍♀️ I didn’t have this with my first, it’s super annoying.

Answer

I had carpal tunnel so bad my last pregnancy that I would wake up numb from my elbows down and my fists would be clenched closed. The only solution I was given, was to wear braces to bed. It did help some, and then once baby was born the carpal tunnel went away like magic.

Answer

This is pregnancy #4 and my first time having carpal tunnel. It’s been mostly at night, my hands fall asleep when I’m sleeping and hurt soooooo bad. I had to start wearing wrist splints. The last few days they’ve started hurting during the day. I’m sorry you are having to deal with this.

Answer

Yes! I almost made the same post. I wake up in the morning and my right arm is usually completely numb, and my hands and fingers hurt SO bad. It seriously feels like it’s my bones sometimes. I was wondering if it was carpal tunnel?

Answer

Yup! I’m 25 weeks and wake up with throbbing hands almost every night. They are numb and I swollen. My feet aren’t too bad, but I feel like I have a pulled muscle on the left foot! I think it’s all the “joys” of being pregnant! Hang in there!

Answer

Try doing hand/wrist exercise. Most of the time I get relief after doing that.

Answer

I didn’t have it with my first pregnancy however with my second (current) I’ve noticed that my hands and wrist both are sore to the point that it wakes me up sometimes. I haven’t been to the doctor but I’m pretty sure it’s carpal tunnel
