Hi mummies

Any one suffering from wrist pain from carrying baby too much or burping? The pain is getting worse despite reduced handling of baby (i let my helper take over in the day).

Any remedies to recommend besides salon pas?

Tia!

Hi, I had the same problem.....I went to see a taditional physician... did acupuncture and it was fine after 2 sessions... my friend had this problem too.. she went to see GP instead, and took a jab, and it was fine after that. So, depends on which doc u prefer...

Don't anyhow massage yourself. It's very common for mothers especially those just given birth to have mummies thumb. It's inflammation of the tendon and muscles. So if we do not know how to do it, it might worsen it.

Do get a hand guard and use correct posture( locked wrist instead of bent) to carry baby. For most mummies in my thread they recover by 6 months or after they stop breastfeeding. I breastfeed for one year.. So when I had it after full month I went to see Chinese physician at TPY and cured it in two sessions.

I went back to gynae, she gave me vitamin b tablets, suggested I buy a wrist gut and use breast feeding pillow. And I also went weekly tui na (massage) for my wrist for 6 times. Ok Liao!
