Hi all
My wife and I adopted a baby a few months ago and, amongst the joy and stress and fun and toughness and everything else, my wife has developed pretty significant thumb / wrist pain on and off. Turns out carrying a 10kg boy around is pretty impactful.
She's got a GP appointment on Monday but I'm aware of people who have been fobbed off when attending for the same issues in the past. Does anyone have experience of the condition and did you find anything helped particularly in terms of treatment / management? Been using splints and doing various exercises recommended by friends / the internet but they're not helping particularly and it's really making things tough for her at times.
