| Discomfort: | I developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome right after I gave birth to my son seven years ago. Now that I'm pregnant again, it worsened. It causes pain to my hands when I hold anything heavy or so little. I usually wake up in the middle of the night because of numbness on both hands especially when my hands or wrists are too bent, have been laid upon by something heavy or when they sit above the level of my heart. It's just too irritating and uncomfortable. I am not able to work pretty well. |
| Treatment or advice: | The doctor told me to avoid the above situations and actions that trigger the pain and numbness, avoid exposure to too much cold, doing highly repetitive hand movements and performing fine movements for long periods like writing, sewing or typing. Surgery could be an option for chronic cases. |

| Discomfort: | My hands have been going numb on and off and the right one feels sore -- the muscholes feel tight. |
| Treatment or advice: | I was told this would go away after I give birth. That is the only real solution. |

| Discomfort: | When I sleep my hands tend to go numb and swell abit. I thought maybe that I was sleeping on them wrong, but after taking a few cat naps in my car at work, I sleep with one hand on my head and the other on my stomach and they still go numb in a couple of minutes. |

| Discomfort: | It started with a tingling and numbness in my thumb which eventually gave way to a pain, especially when I flex my right thumb. After a week the pain is now in my wrist and effecting my range of motion and activities like opening jars. |

| Discomfort: | From the top of my right shoulder all the way to the fingers it is constant pain. Middle, ring and pinkie fingers go numb all the time. Nothing I do eases it unless I shake my wrist constantly but then that adds to the discomfort. Any suggestions would help at all right now. I'm thinking a pinched nerve, but i'm not a doctor..... |
