I get shoulder pain which is unbearable due to carpal tunnel syndrome which I only get when I am pregnant.
I highly recommend acupuncture. I also make sure I sleep with my hands straight rather than curled up. Just 2 weeks ago I couldn't even drive because I couldn't raise my arms to reach the steering wheel let alone move it. Since having acupuncture I haven't had any issues.
I notice my CT pains will come on when I get weakness in my hands, or my hands go numb or tingly. After that the pain will eventually come.
I hope the pain goes away for you real soon. If you can, take some pregnancy friendly pain killers (panadene forte is ok apparently... I can't take it because I am allergic to codeine)
There are also acupressure points in which I found helped too once I applied pressure. I will try to find you the link to the site I found.
Also, taking blackmores total calcium + magnesium seems to be helping me. It is apparently also good for hip/pelvis pain and for restless legs.
