I am so ACHY! Any suggestions?

Question

I am 28 weeks pregnant, and I have had the perfect pregnancy! But, for the past 3 weeks or so, I feel like I have full-blown arthritis in my hands and feet. I can't make a fist or bend my toes much because I am so stiff and sore. And, I wake up several times every night with numb arms and hands.

Did any of you experience this? And, what did you do to alleviate the discomfort? The numbness is mostly at night (occasionally during the day) but my fingers and toes are still almost constantly.

Answer 1

Oh yes, I had this soo bad, It was mainly in my knees. There wasn't much I could during the day, but before I went to bed I would take 1/2 of a Tylenol, it would let me sleep w/o waking up and having to stretch out, all night.  

Answer 2

try a hot bath before you go to bed to relax ur bones and muscles and do everything slowly as your getting ready for bed.

maybe try getting someone to massage your hands and feet every so often to reduce tenseness in them.
