I am waiting to see a physio at the moment to have braces for my hands. But not sure how long i will have to wait. The pain seems to come and go but i have the tingling all the time which also stops me from picking things up.
Would like some help in what to do about the pain in the mean time.
i have carple tunnle as well, but not as bad as you. My OB told me to run your hands under cold water if it gets bad. Luckily I don't need hand or wrist braces.
I wish I'd known that I could have had wrist/hand braces as I had REALLY bad CTS. I had permanent numbness/tingling in my hands....so much so that I could put my hands in a sink full of hot water straight from the tap and not know it was hot.....I had trouble typing, picking things up, writing etc, just like you are. There was nothing I could do about the pain either, I just had to put up with it. It wasn't very nice and I had it until Jacob was around 5w old.
I had it bad as well Michelle, just the same as Tootie, couldn't write, pick anything up or even drive, it really was terrible. I am sorry to say that nothing helped me at all. I am happy to say that it does go away! I am back to normal now.
