danni

i am pretty sure that you CAN"T use voltarin or deepheat or anything like that when pregnant. hugs to you. i second the heat pack or what about a tennis ball. i suffer from terrible shoulder pain when pregnant usually starts in my 20th week and disappears after birth (all thanks to my lovely posture NOT) and i sit there with a tennis ball behind my back and shoulder and let it roll around - also good to use a tennis ball in labour - get dh to roll the ball around your back for some relief.

hope you feel better soon
