I had CTS when I was PG with Jacob and it didn't totally go away until he was 5 - 6w old. I lost almost all feeling in all fingers and thumbs and had this shocking pins and needles thing all the time. I could put my hands in hot water straight from the tap and not even know. I found it hard to hold a pen to write, type etc etc.

I don't really have any tips on how to relieve the pain and discomfort - I didn't use braces on my wrists, but I have heard they help over time.
