Kaley Cuoco, who shares almost four-month-old Matilda with Tom Pelphrey, is having one of those dreary days thanks to motherhood. Since welcoming her only child in March, the award-winning actress has opened up about her parenting experience, revealing that it hasn’t all been roses.
In a recent social media update, the actress revealed that she seems to be suffering from a mother-related condition.
Kaley Cuoco Shows Both Hands On Slin, Reveals ‘Mommy Wrist’ Diagnosis
In two new Instagram Story photos, Cuoco shows her hands aren’t in the best shape as they’re being treated for “mommy wrists.” One of the images shows the film star’s hand looking swollen in a compression brace with her perfectly manicured nails painted a deep red.

“The Flight Attendant” star wrote on the post, “They call it ‘mom’s wrist,'” though she seemed surprised by the diagnosis, adding, “Are you kidding me?” He then released a second update – a mirror selfie showing both of his hands in splinters, showing both were affected. “Did I mention it’s both hands?” he stated adding an “Ouch” sticker.
Cuoco, who took a picture of herself in a bright bedroom, looked moody but explained why by writing, “I’m just sulking out of self-pity.”
Mommy wrist, also known as Mommy thumb, is a common condition affecting the wrists of women, especially pregnant women and mothers of young children. According to the American Society for Surgery For the Hand, this condition is scientifically referred to as “tenosynovitis or de Quervain’s tendonitis” and causes discomfort in the thumb, which worsens when the thumb is moved.
Although the cause of the condition remains unknown, it results from “irritation of the tendon that extends the thumb in the sheath around it at the wrist,” and patients may notice cysts, lumps, or swelling in the affected area.
Maternal wrists can be diagnosed through physical examination, X-ray, or Finkelstein’s test. Finkelstein’s test involves the patient placing their thumb into their palm and wrapping their fingers around the thumb. After that, the patient moves their wrist towards their little finger, reproducing their pain. The process has proven to be quite painful.
Fortunately, surgery is not required to treat the condition as the patient recovers with time. Therefore, some non-surgical treatment options include wearing a splint, resting the hand, using anti-inflammatory drugs, hand therapy, adjusting the way the affected hand is used, and using Corticosteroid injections.

Two months before Cuoco was diagnosed with Mommy’s wrist, she opened up about having a bad mother’s day on her Instagram Stories using a photo of herself carrying a crying Matilda. She filmed herself relaxing in her living room, wearing a gray T-shirt and blue and yellow tartan pajama bottoms while her baby was wearing a long-sleeved black onesie.
The “8 Simple Rules” star looked downcast in the post, but Matilda didn’t really care as she continued to wail. “Not every day is perfect!” Cuoco captioned the photo, adding a crying piglet sticker. In the following update featuring an adorable photo of Matilda looking adorable, the “Bewitched” actress explained that some days are better than others.
The little one, who sported a pink two-piece striped dress, appeared to be in a better mood as she wasn’t crying. A relieved Cuoco later declared on the post, “But mostly!” added multiple heart emojis.

Even with her Mommy Wrist diagnosis, Cuoco has been on a postpartum fitness routine, and it’s definitely paying off in her toned physique. She recently blessed her followers with a glimpse of her enviable body via her Instagram Stories, with a note showing she had just finished a Pilates session at her home gym.
The “Growing Up Brady” star was surrounded by gym equipment in the photo and wore an all-black gym outfit, including a sports bra that drew attention to her stomach and sheer leggings that flattered her hips.

She left her blonde hair in a messy bun but accessorized with gold necklaces, bracelets and a small ring on her pinky. Adding an overlay of text, she joked, “I got the Pilates bug again.”
The “Toothless” actor then uploaded a second selfie with the caption “STRONG,” in which he showed off his biceps and teased a glimpse of his rear. Fans can also get a closer look at his sweaty face.
