Has anyone else gottena bad wrist/thumb from carrying baby?

Question

My right wrist/thumb has felt strained for awhile now, doc said most likely from carrying baby and could be tendonitis. I was told to rest it, wear a brace, and ice it
I mentioned how tough it is for me to rest it as im a single mom so i have no one else to carry him for me. Ugh
Did this happen to anyone else? What did u do? Did it go away

Answer

My friend cupped me, it was painful but really worth it. My MIL had the same issue from holding baby and she went to her primary care doctor. After some cream they gave her didn’t work, she got a steroid shot and that seemed to help her with the pain.

Answer

These are the exact ones I wore. Left and right.

Answer

It's common. Follow the doc instructions. Ice it and wear a brace. I had SEVERE pregnancy induced carpet tunnel which lasted 4 months post partum and had to wear wrist braces on BOTH wrists at all times. Even while sleeping. It was painful and annoying. But you manage. You adapt.
