Anyone else having wrist pain?

Question

As if everything else that comes with having a baby isn't bad enough, now this. I have pretty terrible wrist pain in both hands on the thumb side. It gets so bad at night and in the morning that I can barely pick baby up. Ive been hoping with time it would go away but it's been 3 months and is still here. Im almost positive it is De Quervains Tenosynovitis. Has anyone else had this? What worked and didn't work? Do I need to see a doctor or does it go away on its own?

Answer

Yes! Mine got so bad I couldn’t pick the baby up. Tried a thumb/wrist brace for a month and it didn’t help. Dr gave me a cortisone shot in the wrist and within 3 days the pain was gone.

Answer

I have it too! Went to the doctor and was told to put on a thumb spica splint 24 hours (night time during bed is important to have the brace) and compress the thumb part with ice in the morning and warm compress on the arm during the day. Hope it goes away soon because i’m also frustrated with this :(

Answer

I used to have De Quervains Tensosynitis and tendonitis in my wrists from working at an ice cream parlor, it went away after 7 months of physical therapy. Now I’m having different wrist pain- carpal tunnel, where my hands will go numb,

Answer

Look up “mommy thumb.”  I had it with my first.

Answer

Yes. I went to the doctors and it’s carpal tunnel and tendonitis. 
I been dealing with this shit since August

Answer

onmmahgahhh yesssss!  i thought it was only me!  then found it’s pregnancy carpal tunnel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ i especially have pain in my left wrist/thumb, to the point where i can’t pick up my child to support his neck from that hand/wrist either. it’s gotten better now that i’ve stopped breastfeeding and started exclusively pumping. i got a wrist brace that specifically supports the thumb part too and it’s helped a little. otherwise, i wake up with stiff left hand and have to stretch/massage it out to get it working. dr offered steroid shot, but that just sounds intense.
