I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from my pregnancy. Is there any massage techniques or anything I can do to ease it as I am in a lot of discomfort! Please help!

Check with your doctor, but wrist splints are commonly prescribed to people with CTS. Hopefully yours gets better after you have the baby.

Try buying a brace from the drugstore. They should be kept with the ACE wraps. Wear it all the time, even at night, until the pain subsides.Refrain from playing on the computer for loner than 20-30 minutes at a time. Make sure you take breaks and stretch your wrist out if you have to be on the computer for longer than that.Ask your doctor about taking some Ibuprofen or Tylenol for the pain.Avoid doing anything that could cause strain to the wrist, especially repetitive actions (like sliding items across the scanner at the store if you are a cashier).That should help!
