Carpal tunnel syndrome??

[Kat@girlracer]

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects as many as one in three pregnant women. The symptoms include numbness and/or pins and needles in your fingers and hands, generally first thing in the morning. Although carpal tunnel syndrome is generally quite mild, in some cases it can be so painful that sleep is disturbed and hand movements are severely restricted.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by fluid collecting around your wrist joints and pressing on the nerves that go through the wrist to the hand.

Luckily it just needed me to clentch my fist and straighten out a few times and it was alright - hope it doesn't get any worse!!!

Operation to fix it is a piece of cake though, takes about 3 minutes under local anaesthetic. (and no washing up for a week or so!)

Only trouble is they tend to leave it until you've finished having all your babies before they fix it (or they used to).
