dear mummies
HAPPY MUMMIES DAY!!!
regarding wrist pain
was reading some of your posts abt having wrist pain--i had it on both my wrists when i had #1.
it was v painful, esp when u clench yr fist and try to rotate it.
at first --went to polyclinic, the doc say it was a sprain,but not convincing, cos how can sprain both hands for no reason??
then i went to Eu Yang Sang, the doc said its cos didn do confinement properly, touched water, wind etc... gave me infrared treatment also no use. and damn ex.
then I went to see the GP. He diagnosed me with DeQuervain Syndrome--very common among Nursing mothers. its inflammation of some tendons near the thumb coz of awkward positions we use when carrying or nursing our infants.
I was so relieved tt FINALLY i found out whats wrong.
Went to specialist for injections and wore a splint for a bout 2 weeks. and it recovered after sufficient rest.
Mummies u might wannat check this website out and see if the symptoms match what u r having.
