As mums we use our hands extensively whether we are at home or at work. This could be typing on your keyboard, sending off those long corporate emails or changing diapers or holding your toddler or driving your kids to classes, etc etc … the list goes on and on! It is not uncommon for mums to suffer from wrist and hand pain (Carpal tunnel syndrome) either due to over use of their hands or fluid retention during pregnancy.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by irritation or compression of the Median Nerve. This is one of the many nerves that originates in our neck (cervical spine) and supplies your thumb, ring and index finger along with a part of the ring finger. The median nerve passes through a narrow tunnel made of the wrist bones, known as the carpal tunnel. If there is a swelling or inflammation of the median nerve due to overuse, pregnancy or fracture, it can rub against these bones in the tunnel and start to produce symptoms of pain or burning or tingling numbness or a nerve pain down the wrist and hand.
