Does anyone else have tendonitis during pregnancy? I started getting it in my wrist about a month ago, at first it was mainly just a nights, I could barley use my hands when I woke up, but it only felt a little sore during the day. I tried sleeping with hand braces on but it didn't help. Now it has gotten so bad in my left wrist I can only hardly use it. Along with my sciatica pain, I've had to call into work several times. I told my midwife about it and she didn't really say anything. What should I do? Anyone else have this prob.? I assume its pregnancy related and will go away.

This isn't an uncommon thing in pregnancy as the increased fluid retention and relaxin wreak havoc on your joints! Chiropractic can easily help with this.
