Have been feeling pain over the thumb side of the wrist ever since i delivered BB En Yu. Got to find out that it is the much talkabout '媽媽手' ... the proper term seemed to be 'deQuervain's tendinitis' (i looked up the net), which is an inflammation of the sheath or tunnel that surrounds two tendons that control movement of the thumb. Fathers' do get them too (then it's called '爸爸手'). Caused by too much carrying of baby etc, the pain is getting worse lately... maybe i should look up a doc and seek treatment :(
(yah, this is my left hand)
