Mommy hand

Anyone had this mama hand? Any solution to make it recover without going for the steroid shot and surgery?

I had numb fingers since second trimester, though mostly at night, and most nights I will get pins and needles. Most get it on their feet and legs and mine is in my hands and fingers 😂 At the start of my third trimester I also started to get wrist pains on one wrist after a hand spa treatment. My prenatal Physio helped with it using deep tissue work and dry needling. It helped for me to wear a wrist guard to hold it in place and not move it subconsciously in a weird angle. And also to use anti inflammatory kefentech patches. U can get both from the pharmacy.

I had this. I went NUH and they made a custom hand/wrist guard for me which I wore most of the time. After 1 month or so, I recovered. didn't need steroids etc.

hi, my husband found a chiropractor whom recommended a type of wrist/hand guard to put on as support, when not tending to baby...

Just got to avoid carrying heavy things or your baby too much. I had it too and recovered on its own without physio.

yes it’s quite common. just rest it. i had it and recovered slowly on its own without surgery or shots

mine was super painful that I can't even hold up my personal cup to drink water sometimes. And it'll freeze in pain during a handshake. took me 7months to recover 80% and it's still not exactly the way it was before. still recovering though. I had my husband handle the baby whenever he can, and he's super helpful in doing that to aid my recovery. of cos, when he's unavailable, I'll have to cover those duties and the pain will come back. so the recovery journey is often taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back. but at least it's getting there.
