help

im sitting here in tears. Does anyone get shoulder pain? What causes it?

Is it in your shoulder blade? Like, could you have pulled a muscle, because thats pretty painful

:hug:

yep - massage, and many sessions will help. My muscles are so tight in my shoulders that I currently need weekly sessions. You'll also need to have stretches to do at home to release the tension.

You could try acupuncture too.

feel better.

Hi sweetie,

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.

i have torn something in my shoulder before so sometimes i get like a deep stabbing pain and its really painful go see a dr sweet get a diagnosis :) :hug:

Thanks girls,

im not sure wha it is. It hits in waves, probly just slighty above my shouldre blade, then i feel tight across to my left breast, then the arm feels weird. Ill see my doc hopefully on monday. But i was thinking maybe try some acuptioner (sp??) or something like that. Its just killing me, silly pregancy makes your body all out of wak.

HI Rach.
Just wondering how everything is going now. I hope the pain has gone away for you.

rach2281 - I have also had shoulder pain in the last week. Never had this before pregnancy! Visited a physio and he suggested weekly sessions. I will also be getting excersises to do at home.

I wasn't exactly given an answer as to WHY it's occuring though!:doh::doh:

Hope it gets better. Definately do try massage/physio though as this will provide you with some relief.
