In the first two months of pregnancy I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand and particularly at night. As it got increasingly worse, I mentioned it to my midwife as I was starting to lose a lot of sleep over it. The pain was waking me up every night between 5 and 15 times!
I was informed the only available remedies to this were; anti-inflammatory meds (not suitable in pregnancy), steroids injected into the wrist (again not suitable in pregnancy) or, going to see a physiotherapist (who I was told would probably not do anything due to my being pregnant). I was advised to take 2 paracetamol (Tylenol) before bed to ease the pain!
I don’t like taking any tablets and prefer to find alternative relief but attempted this all the same. It made no difference. That’s when my Mum found you on the internet. I was sceptical at first that such a simple device could work, but I was willing to try anything ---so she placed an order for the Carpal Solution.
As soon as The Carpal Solution arrived I tried it that night and quite frankly I was amazed! A phenomenal success! I didn’t wake once and was quite surprised when I awoke in the morning able to feel my fingers! This may sound like a strange statement to make, but until you have felt carpal tunnel syndrome you really have no idea!
I followed the recommended course and found it to be a huge success in aiding my sleep. Now the only thing that’s going to keep me awake is the arrival of our baby!
As I have progressed through my pregnancy (I am now 33 weeks) I have found the carpal tunnel symptoms are getting worse during the day when I do not wear the Carpal Solution for a couple of nights in a row. Now both my hands are tingling and numb (although still worse in my left hand).
I’ll finish (finally) by saying thank you. Thank you for making such a simple yet wonderfully effective device as the Carpal Solution. You have made a very tired, pregnant and hormonal woman very happy!!
