The Daily Matters

I never realized how painful can a carpal tunnel syndrome be until I was in my later stage in pregnancy. I tell you, it wasn’t easy. Moms out there can definitely attest to this experience. Every night I couldn’t sleep well because of my wrist and shoulder pain. It was bothersome! I was really discouraged and to think that the pregnancy itself wasn’t comfortable as well. I didn’t believe in taking a pain reliever especially with that condition (pregnant) although the doctor would likely suggest a mild acetaminophen, I didn’t buy it. I would rather suffer from the pain than taking in something that I am afraid would bring a bad effect on the baby in my belly.

Anyhow, I just couldn’t stand the pain anymore and opted to go to the emergency room. The doctor has told me it’s a carpal tunnel and all I can do which is safer would be a wrist band that will support my arm/wrist from moving, thus, avoiding the pain. Well, it wasn’t all that convenient especially when the baby came. The pain is still attacking me even after my baby is already a few months old. I got a Freeze It sample which is a topical pain relief on the mail one day and didn’t hesitate to try it. Boy was I glad to feel how relieving it is! If only I had this on hand when I was still pregnant I would have used it a lot. This is way safer than any pain relieving medication for pregnant women, I would guess. It’s just what I needed. I’ve been looking for something like this before and glad to finally found one. The mentholated ingredient is just my favorite and to top it all — effective.
