Postpartum wrist pain, also known as “mother’s wrist”, is caused by the estrogen secreted by women during pregnancy, which can cause water and sodium retention in women’s bodies, causing relaxation of the joints and ligaments in women’s bodies to accommodate the increase in weight during pregnancy. However, some women experience edema of the carpal tunnel on the inside of the wrist that compresses the nerves in the fingers, causing numbness and even pain in the hand. The edema of the carpal tunnel sometimes adheres to the nerves in the hand, causing this compression to continue into the postpartum period. Some women who have a normal delivery can also suffer from postpartum carpal tunnel damage due to improper force on both hands during delivery, which can cause painful symptoms in the new mom’s wrist. These carpal tunnel lesions are also known clinically as “wrist stenosis bursitis” and the pain occurs near the wrist in the thumb. The symptoms of “mommy’s wrist” usually worsen slowly rather than suddenly, and in severe cases, they not only prevent wrist movement, but also affect sleep. The pain often worsens when grasping the palm of the hand, raising the thumb, or bending the wrist toward the little finger. A little edema can be seen at the end of the radial styloid process of the wrist, which is painful when pressed. Here are some suggestions for pregnant mothers to prevent this: Avoid repetitive wrist bending movements and give your wrist more rest. When doing housework, reduce the excessive use of the hand for a long time and take proper rest to avoid overworking the thumb and wrist. If a mom feels uncomfortable with her wrist, she should reduce the amount of heavy objects she carries, and avoid carrying heavy objects of more than 1 kilogram in one hand, because carrying heavy objects in one hand will increase the burden on her wrist and arm, and once the wrist is damaged, recovery is very slow. Pregnant moms who feel hand discomfort before delivery bring wrist guards, which can play a role in protecting moms’ wrists and effectively prevent the impact of external stimuli on the wrist. New mothers with hand discomfort after delivery should reduce the number of times and time they hold their children each day, or take turns changing the position of holding the child, try not to hold it with one hand, and do not rely too much on the strength of the wrist. The child should be held close to her body for better force support and to reduce the weight on the wrist. The daily treatment of “mother’s wrist” 1, hot compresses.
