Hi, guys --
I have a problem which the GP says that there is nothing that can be done as am pregnant (growl), but have had minor problems with my hands in the cold weather last two winters and my usual method of ibruphren (sp) isn't feasible in pregnancy, sigh...but it's becoming a HUGE problem....
I get tingling in both hands and in particular, am woken up at night (not just to go to the loo at 5am thanks to bump and his Irish dancing), but now it's every few hours at night with painful, throbbing (sp) hands that spasm uncontrollably and nothing works -- I use a heating pad which makes them worse, I try a cold compress and nothing, I shake them, I sit upright, I walk around and of course, by the time, the pain is better (but still pins and needles), it's time to go to work! I actually had to take today off because was so tired and now, even typing this, my hands are tingling....any ideas?
please help!
