In case you haven't heard, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common side affect in pregnancy. It's symptoms are the same as traditional CTS, only this time it's brought on by typical swelling that happens to pinch the CT nerve. These days, I wake up anywhere in the 3-5 am range with a throbbing hand, as if its asleep but nothing can wake it up. The pain radiates up to my elbow. I'm hoping this wrist brace will reduce my wake up calls since the only actually relief won't come until baby makes his or her appearance. (And last time it stuck around for at least a few more weeks 'til ALL of my water retention was flushed!) I'll let you know how it goes!
