I b/f my daughter but had major attachment problems which went on and on and on until week 14. I went to the physio and asked if people complained about sore wrists to which he told me this can be a big problem. As they got worse I went regularly but did not find that this would help. Well it would relieve the pain for a little while but then it would come back. It is so hard to describe it but often it felt like I was getting electric jolts in my wrists/arms. Turning a door handle, opening a jar, wiping when having been to the loo etc would hurt and sometimes I would look at DD in her cot and think I don't want to pick you up. It was like a tendon so something would sometimes snap. It would often wake me up in the night too - like it gets cold or something and they would snap again. I would wear a brace.
I recently went (had waited 5 months) to the Dr who sent me for an ultrasound. It showed tendonitis and I have now been referred to a specialist. Like you I may get a cortisone injection. I had to cancel my appt last week and have yet to make another. Strange thing is that the past 4 days they have felt much better - not counting my chickens yet but really hope it has gone away as it has been so frustrating.
Keep me posted with what happens. Unless you have experienced tendonitis it is difficult for people to relate.
