Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hey mummies! I’m currently Week 31+5. Wondering if any of you experienced CTS during your pregnancy? How did you all sleep? Since we are advised to sleep on the left side, but every morning I wake up my left wrist aches and my finger hurts. Can’t seem to have a good grip.. any advice?
Hi dear, I had Carpel tunnel in both arms in late late pregnancy. It started in my left hand but right hand had it too. I had numbness and stiffness and pain in my finger joints. I usually couldn't clench my fists when I wake up. I slept on both left and right. More on my right as I also had sciatica on my left. I did flexing/ rotating of my wrists, clenching of my fists and elevate my arms above my head in the morning to relieve the discomfort.
