I've had sore wrists now since the birth of my little girl. At first I was told that it was repeating things that I've never had to do before... lifting her up, doing nappies etc. But they are still really sore. She's now 6mths old. I thought it would have passed by now. Sometimes its to the point I can't even pick her up of a morning =( Does anyone else have this problem and how have you overcome it?? I don't want to take pain killers all the time.
It could be carpal tunnel? I had a lot of pain in my wrists during one of my pg's and it took a while to subside after she was born. In my case all I needed was time to make it go away, but it sounds like you should see a Dr because it doesn't seem to be getting any better for you.
I ended up with nasty RSI in both wrists from picking up DD and holding her in certain ways. Having extra stretchy ligaments post-birth set it off and then it wouldn't heal because I kept having to do the same actions again and again. I ended up seeing an osteopath and she treated it with the ultrasound machine thingamy they have - I was a little dubious but it worked brilliantly! She also strapped them and showed me some ways of moving / lifting that didn't put as much strain on the affected muscles and ligaments.
Hope you get some relief very soon. xox
