If you’re a new mom and you’re experience pain in your thumb and wrist area, then you’re experiencing DeQuervain’s Tendonitis or New Mom Syndrome. Pain is caused by the inflammation of tendons in the thumb and arises from repetitive lifting of baby improperly. I happen to notice this shooting pain on my wrist when Gwen is 4 months old and I took care of her for one week because we let go of Yaya#3. I was constantly carrying Gwen at that time. I just shrugged off the pain for weeks unsuspecting that baby carrying is the culprit. But since the pain won’t go away, I googled it and found out that I’m not the only one having this pain.
So, along with my research on lipofuze reviews, I searched for tips on how to treat/manage New Mom Syndrome:
- Apply ice pack to the affected area to reduce inflammation. Do this 2-3 times per day for 10 minutes.
- A splint to immobilize and rest the thumb and wrist may be used.
- If not breastfeeding, over-the-counter pain relievers can help.
- Apply topical pain relievers such as Ben-gay to the affected area.
hi Badet! i had this since SooAe’s first day here at home.. i carried her a lot since then against Mama’s advices. i kept on complaining to Alex about it but he did nothing about it as his mom and his sis in law kept on telling him it was just okay. i was so irritated that he had to ask about it from people who care less about me. even my back pains, they told him it was just okay. so after almost breaking down, he finaly brought me to the oriental medical clinic because he’s scared i might be prescribed with medicine not good for my breastmilk. the doctor was kind enough to advise alex about my pains postpartum.. since hten, he became more attentive with the complaints/pains i have or get from taking care of sooae, kkk…
I have the same. I haven’t taken any medication for it though. I’ll try Ben gay one of these days.
About your question – yes we try to practice organic farming 😉
glad that I have visited your blog, i would not know about this if not for your entry sis:)
Finally! I now know the name of what I’m going through. Been experiencing pain in both my wrists for a couple of weeks already. Hubby has suggested hilot but I’m scared to try it because I know it will definitely hurt. Does anyone know if it is effective?
