Omg Anybody out here goin threw this this is getn worser by the min i have extreme severe carpal…

My carpal tunnel was horrendous during pregnancy. Numb, painful, fingertips to elbow, in any position.

Eat lots of jello or buy a canister of gelatin. I'm due March 6th💚

How are you 19 weeks if you're due March 5th?

@malainaheka23 Idk why it says that but im 22 weeks goin on 23

@callher_bunny jello helps

@dorrdanielle3, lol change it silly! We have the same due date!

@nomli im tired of it seriously

That's why I was so confused when I read that. 😳🙈😂

@malainaheka23 yeah im goin to lol

@dorrdanielle3, I hate it. I had it before pregnancy, it got worse during, and it’s still pretty miserable.

@nomli mines been started a few ago but i noticed that when my fluid drains to my feet my hands get a rest that's only because I'm a truck driver but then im walkn around wit hurtn feet but when i lay down omg the pain in numbness comes right back i can hardly hold the steering wheel hey i do wanna know something if carpal tunnel is something that cuts off the blood supply how is that safe for unborn babies if it cuts off our blood supply our blood flow

@nomli I ain't trying to have a heart attack

I always thought it was more that the nerves were getting compressed because of blood flow, causing the numbness and pain, not blood flow being cut off.

My dad had it and needed surgery on the nerves to relieve the pressure, but his was so bad his fingers were always numb.

@nomli i apparently dnt kno wth im talkn about lol ur right my fingers r numb to there numb now tryn to type i cant even bite my fingers nails i cant feel anything lord

@nomli i kno ur dad felt great after that surgery

He did. Usually the braces at night help me for now, but I’ll probably need the surgery one day too.

I would wake up so many nights in terrible pain...when I managed to fall asleep. Now it’s just during the day that I hurt, and some days I can’t put any pressure on my hands and wrists at all.

@nomli i thought this was a pregnancy thing not a life time so we will need surgery

@nomli if i put pressure or bend my fingers back its like a shock goin threw them

I had it before pregnancy, so that’s probably different than pregnancy carpal tunnel....pregnancy just made it worse for me. But everyone’s pregnancy is different.

Yes! It sucks. Imagine trying to pick up a toddler when it’s really bad....my carpal tunnel started near the base of my thumb years ago. So painful whenever I moved my thumb or tried to lift anything, and I worked in a shoe store at the time!

@nomli thats really messed up
