I know these aren't anxiety symptoms but I'm getting anxiety because of them so wanted to post!

Basically since having my baby my wrists and hands have been sore and actually getting worse as the week's go on. I have heard that it can happen during/after pregnancy due to hormonal changes ect but should definitely get better after baby.

It started as just a stiffness and pain in my left wrist and thumb I assumed it was from carrying and feeding. But they seem worse at night for me, going numb and getting tingles in both wrists and fingers, they feel so stiff and I can hardly grip things sometimes, even closing a door hurts it.

I'm 28 and don't want this to be something progressive affecting my quality of life already! I'm struggling looking after my baby because of it, I will book a doctor's appointment but I'm sure they will faff me off and say it will get better in time, I don't think it will..
Has anyone experienced this or know what it could be x
