Kaley Cuoco has revealed she has been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) from holding her 5-month-old baby daughter.
The Big Bang Theory actress, who welcomed Matilda in March with partner and fellow actor Tom Pelphrey, said she was suffering from the condition during a workout demonstration with trainer Ryan Sorensen on Instagram.
She began the video: ‘Some of you may know I have this major wrist/hand injury from holding the baby.
‘It’s a very real thing – Google it! I think the only way to make [my wrists] better is for us to start working out without using my hands, and without using any body weight on my hands.’
Wearing wrist splints, Kaley, 37, explained she was guiding viewers through an adapted exercise routine to prove ‘you can still get a workout even if you are injured.’
According to the NHS, CTS is pressure on a nerve in your wrist that causes tingling, numbness and pain in your hand and fingers, with symptoms usually worse at night.

At-home treatments recommended by the health body are wearing a wrist splint, taking painkillers, hand exercises and avoiding actions that aggravate the condition.
It advises going to a GP if that does not work or your symptoms are getting worse or are not going away.
Kaley and Ozark actor Tom, 41, have regularly shared adorable photos of Matilda and even got matching tattoos in honour of their bundle of joy.

The Flight Attendant actress also shared her verdict on Tom’s parenting style, saying: ‘I cannot believe how natural he is, how much he loves it.
‘I mean, when we were in the hospital, he did everything — every diaper, he’s the swaddle king.
‘All the nurses said, “Oh my God, you’re the best guy swaddler we’ve ever seen”.’

Kaley also previously gave an insight into how she’s finding motherhood on the red carpet at the An Evening From the Heart fundraiser for the John Ritter Foundation in LA in May.
She said: ‘She’s amazing. She’s five weeks old and she was laughing today, full on laughing and I was like, “This kid is hysterical!”
‘I’ve become that mum who posts every freaking thing. She does something, and I’m like, “I have to post that!”’

Kaley shared the news of Matilda’s arrival on social media earlier this year, posting the first photos of the tot.
‘3-30-23. Introducing, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, the new light of our lives! We are overjoyed and grateful for this little miracle,’ she wrote at the time.
‘Thank you to the doctors, nurses, family and friends who have helped us immensely over the last few days. We are blessed beyond belief.
