carpal tunnel from pregnancy
I've had carpal tunnel since having my 2 ye old but it wasn't that bad, ever since having my second though it is so horrible, it wakes me up multiple times at night, every morning I wake up my right hand is so numb and also hurts all the way up my arm I can't even change a diaper I have to wait like 30 min. When I'm driving holding on to the wheel makes both fingers go numb, washing my hair makes my hands hurt, even texting on my phone like I am typing right now my fingers are numb. I have a Dr appointment Sep 12 but that seems so far away when every day is a challenge. Does anybody have this or know any tricks or what to do to ease this? I also think I may have arthritis in my hands and hips I'm gonna ask them to do a blood test for that too. I feel like a 80 year old woman I'm only 22 but arthritis runs in my family and I have an injury to my hips from a car accident and I read that arthritis can sometimes stem from injuries.

@novmom2be i never had it during my first pregnancy it only came after, and then getting pregnant a second time kind of cured it I never had issues during that pregnancy either but afterward it just got worse and worse
@1stWoodsBaby I'm curious how a persons back is related to the carpal tunnel nerve? I would've never thought of going to a chiropractor for my hands what do they do that helps? I've been wanting to see a chiropractor anyway for my sciatica
