First-time mom Kaley Cuoco has had to make serious adjustments to her routine since welcoming daughter Matilda this spring, admitting she has developed carpal tunnel syndrome just by holding her child.

In a video shared to her trainer Ryan Sorenson’s Instagram account, the Big Bang Theory actress revealed the new accessories she has been donning: hand braces.

Some of you may know I have, like, major wrist and hand injuries from holding the baby it’s a very real thing, Google it, and I think the only way to make them better is for us to start working out without using my hands and without using any body weight on my hands.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist. It happens when there is increased pressure within the wrist on a nerve called the median nerve per Cleveland Clinic.

When I first brought Kaley to New Jersey to meet my family and friends, my mom’s partner who apparently was a  Big Bang Theory fan was there and he kept calling her Penny. I had no clue what was going on he told W magazine.
