| Seriousness: | Annoying |
| Discomfort: | I am experiencing constant tingling, pins and needles in my hands and wrists. i have just started getting it, mainly at nights and especially if i lie on my hands when i am sleeping. It can affect grabbing or holding things. I have researched it on the internet and it seems as though it is carpal tunnel syndrome. 20% of pregnant women get it by the end of their pregnancy. |
| Treatment or advice: | wearing a support wrist band. |
