My god!!
I hate to be a whiny pregnant lady. I seem to be complaining a lot lately and I aploigize but seriously!
My poor arms, I posted a while ago about my dead arms, how they keep going numb, well everyday for almost 2 weeks now I wake up and at least one of them is completely dead, not asleep dead and you can't get them back to normal! and they are throbbing. the pain is in my fingers,wrists elbows and mostly myt shoulders and goes across my back to the other arm Sad
I can't even make a fist! Typing is killing me, but I am so frstrated I'll take it.
My mom has had severe carpal tunnel for years, she's a waitress and never got the surgery ... I feel so bad for her right now. I hope to god it goes away after I have the baby... I'mn in tears it hurts so much.

Sorry about my vent, lol Im just so angry to be up at 6 in the morning because my arms hurt!

i've had that since 4 and a half months or so. it can be really painful and makes it hard to sleep at night. you sleep on one side and that arm goes numb so you turn over and the other one goes numb and so on all night long. meanwhile your tummy muscles hurt every time you flip over and you can't sleep on your back or your stomach!! i've just gotten used to it i've had it so long. i don't know how many things i've dropped though. i've become quite a clutz. anyway, you don't have too much longer to go. they say it almost always goes away right after baby is born when you get rid of all that excess fluid. my doc told me there isn't anything she can do about it at this point and that when i have the baby i'll pee out about 6 litres of water and sweat out a bunch more and that should take care of it. but i still have 4 weeks until my due date! Sad you have my sympathies.

I had it my entire pregnancy and it was the worst. I went to a physical therapist and it helped tremendously.
It got worse the days after .I had .Jaylon and now 3 months later is almost gone. The only time .I notice it is when .I first wake up.
I wore a big ugly brace at night when .I slept. It kept me from bending my wrists and helped some.
I feel for you, .I really do
