Joint pain in hands after daughter born?
I had my baby 6 weeks ago and ever since I gave birth I wake up with really bad joint pain in my fingers. Also my hands are always asleep! I’ve heard of carpal tunnel while being pregnant which I didn’t have but not after…??

It’s postpartum carpal tunnel. I had it with both babies. After my first, I went to a hand specialist because I was so numb I was dropping things and was worried I’d drop the baby. She told me there was no such thing as pp carpal tunnel and i would need surgery on one or both hands– seriously. BS– it was gone about 3 months after his birth and web searches showed me it was common. When my new one was born, it happened again. My chiropractor, along with his massage therapist and acupuncturist, fixed it in just two visits. It’s quite common. It’s a swelling issue– even though you may not look too swollen. Call a chiro and have them adjust your wrists and hands. Oh– and all of the other body parts you’ve been straining with new baby.
I’m wondering the same thing. I use to love doing puzzles, but now my hands hurt too much.
