Worst Carpal Tunnel Pain so Far...
I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in my right hand. Soon, all my fingers returned to normal, but not my thumb! I sat in bed whimpering for about 20 minutes. Robert woke up and frantically tried to do something, anything to help me. He tried rubbing my hands which made it worse. He offered to get me some ice, but I said no. He finally went hunting for the Tylenol and gave me two. That did the trick. The pain went away pretty fast and I was able to fall back asleep. I really don't think it's wise to be taking Tylenol every night for carpal tunnel syndrome, though. I'll have to talk to my doctor and see what can be done. I just don't want to have to get referrals for the appropriate specialist doctors and such because I hate doing that stuff and it takes forever, but I really need some relief.
Robert recently informed me that I've been snoring really loud every night. What does this mean? Do all pregnant ladies start snoring? I'm usually a very quiet sleeper.
On a non-pregnancy note, I ordered my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today from Amazon. I can't wait to get it. It's supposed to be delivered on its release date.

Well, you know how much I hate my carpal tunnel! Ice worked ok at night up to a point. Braces worked great in the beginning! But if it gets bad enough that you have horrible pain during the day too, I heartily recommend trying the steroids. Hopefully yours will not get to that point.
So far it's only at night. I hope to never deal with that pain during the daytime, but I'll desperately try anything if that does happen! Thanks!
