I've been dealing with this for the last
few months and it's killing me!!!! It's
extremely hard to left my newborn at
night.
any suggestions on how to deal with this?
I tried the rub a535 wrist bandage, but
it's too hard to keep that on when i have
to feed my baby.

I thought I had this too, but mine is in
my elbows (cubitle tunnel) and not my
hands. My neurologist told me to kept a
splint or brace on, especially at night;
which I know will be hard for you with a
newborn. The doctor gave me a high dosage
of ibprofen to take as needed and an
anti-inflammatory to take twice a day. I
had to stop taking the anti-inflammatory
because it was really messing with my
stomach. I would recommend going to see
your family doctor and getting a referral
to a neurologist. They can run the tests
to determine if you have CTS or not. Hope
it gets better for you!
