when does carpal tunnel syndrome go away?

I posted the message below yesterday from my ISP's newserver... I've
noticed in the past couple of weeks, however, that none of my posts
get any responses... (I posted a birth announcement last week and
there were zero responses to my post, sniff) and they don't show up in
Google, so I'll try posting this via Google to see if anyone sees my
messages that way. Anyway, here is my post from yesterday:



I have pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome and it's making me
miserable. Some days I can't even hold a pen (not spending as much
time on the computer as normal either). My doctor said it should
probably go away in a month or two post-partum... I'm just wondering,
for those women in the group who have also had cts as a result of
pregnancy, how long after delivering did it take for it to go away?

tia,

Yup, I haven't seen anything from you since 9/29.
Congratulations on the birth, and what a little sweetie
she is ;-)

(Sorry, no idea on when the CTS should go
away :-( )

Best wishes,

Congrats on the baby :-) A cutie!!

I had wrist pain that I assume was carpel tunnel. My fingers didn't hurt so
much though. It went away between 6-9 months post partum.

Congratulations on Katy's birth!

I have been told the cts goes away pretty much right after birth. I'm sure
hoping so, since I too have it pretty bad right now!

I'm afraid your birth announcement never made it to my newserver, so belated
congratulations.

I think that carpal tunnel syndrome clears up quicker if you breastfeed, but
I might be totally wrong, just giving birth should have helped.

Fully? About what your doc said. I noticed a pretty big improvement
almost right away, though, as in after the first few days. It's all
gone now and Max is 6 weeks old.

Mine never went away.
