3rd Trimester

Ouch! Shoulder pain....

So for about the past week I have been having an awful time with my shoulders...at first I thought it was because of how I layed on them when I slept, but I've been sleeping on my back (I know it's bad, but I cannot sleep on my side with my shoulders hurting) and it's just not getting any better.  I literally cannot lift my arms up or move them...let alone pick anything up.

I know that there is a lot more relaxin in the body, but could it affect my shoulders too?  It's extremely painful and now that it's been going on for a week or more, I know it's not because I have overexerted myself...

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Ouch! Shoulder pain....

  • YES! my shoulders started acting up after my ribs came out of place. It is the shoulder blade area in the back and I think it is from the pressure of my dislocated ribs. But in answer to your question the relaxin affacts every joint in your body. It is alot easier to displace a joint or pull a muscle when you are pregnant.
