Mommy thumb @ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Question

Hi, wrist sy sakit sejak pregnant 3rd trimester (bulan 1) sampai la sekarang anak dah masuk 4 bulan dah still sakit lagi. Ingatkan lepas bersalin nanti hilang, tapi tak pun. Nak pergi buat fisioterapi kt hospital time covid ni tak berani la pulak. Sy nak tanya, kalau pakai wrist support ja buat masa sekarang ok tak? Ada tak wrist support yg sesuai?

Ohhh mommy thumb tu memang common during pregnancy and postpartum, lagi-lagi kalau breastfeeding and constantly lifting baby! A few of my mum friends had the same thing and most of them improved with wrist support, so tak salah try dulu before going for physio. Wrist support memang boleh help, ambil yang adjustable ones or the neoprene type, lekat firm enough to reduce movement tapi jangan terlalu ketat. Yang penting, rest the wrist as much as you can when you're not holding the baby, and try not to bend the wrist for long periods. But since you've had it for more than 4 months now, lepas covid situation stable better you go see a doctor or physiotherapist to make sure it's not getting worse, some cases do need proper treatment, tak boleh just bandage ja
