Okay so a few weeks back I had a popping sound in my palm, close to the base of my thumb. Not long after that I started having numbness and tingling in the tips of my fingers. Went to the doctor to ask about it and they said I m experiencing carpal tunnel symptoms due to my pregnancy. My question is, if it is from the pregnancy would I still have experienced the popping sensation? And it is continuing to get worse as my whole middle and index finger are numb all day long and part of my ring finger as well. The joints hurt and it is starting to affect the use of my hand

You can take Multivitamin or Tablet Erosion twice a day for some relief to the pain. Apply warm soaks over the front of the wrist to reduce swelling. Kindly consult your Doctor about the various treatment methods like splinting, steroid injection, acupuncture, ultrasound and electric stimulation and Yoga.
