painful finger joints

I had something like that in the last few weeks of my pregnancy! For me it was pregnancy carpal tunnel. In the morning, I flex/ rotating my wrist and try to do clenching exercises with my fists to ease the tightness. Most mornings I couldn't clench my fist without some stretching. I also tried elevating my hands above my head for short periods, as I think it has to do with fluid retention (mine was very minimal and not noticeable to others) and it was pressing on the nerve in my wrist, causing pain. I'm 2 weeks postpartum and I still have achy fingers joints.
