    Sore wrist?

    My left wrist (non-dominant hand) is killing me. It feels like my tendon that attatches from my wrist to my thumb is a painful mess when I pick Keenan up. (It feels different to a sprain)

    I usually use my left hand to support his head, and this pain has been around for about three weeks...

    Anybody else get wrist pain from their baby? (or am I just a freak??!!LOL)

    My left arm has been sore since I came home from hospital - it can be like a dull ache or really sharp pain when I move my arm a certain way - I asked my Dr at my 6 week check up (thinking it was something to do with the drip I had in my arm) & he said it should go away. It is still here & so I thought it was from reaching out of bed to rock the bassinet & also when I carry her I tap her bum with that hand to get her to sleep. I have made a conscious effort to not use my left arm but the pain is still there. I will ask the Dr again when I take Eliana for her 4month shots on Wednesday.

    Do you remember hurting it? Maybe you have pulled the muscle somehow. It could be a ganglion(sp)...I have one in my left wrist that joins my hand to my arm. It became a lot worse when I was pregnant, which is common. I didn't have a lump their for a while and then it just came up. It has gone back down again and doesn't hurt anymore so dunno whats happened there. Maybe just ask your GP about it.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I think I've figured out what it is....I was holding Keenan on my left hip for quite a while yesterday while we were outside, and my wrist (left one) has to go at some funny angles to support him and keep him 'up' on my hip.

    Prolly is just a strain or sprain. Silly me !
