Aching arm...pinched nerve?

I've been having issues with my arms recently. Pretty sure it is pinched nerves...achy pain from shoulders, through elbows, and down to wrists. Doesn't last forever, but sucks when it happens.

Dr. Google says pinched nerves are more common in pregnancy because we are swelling, plus all this extra boob weight might be straining my back.

Anyone else feeling this? Any suggestions about how to alleviate the pain while it lasts?

    Ya sorta starts below shoulder blade at back but I also kinda feel it up and over the front too.

    Ugh good posture is so impossible now LOL. I wonder if Tylenol would help. Do you think hot or cold is better to put on it?

    Try some gentle stretching or yoga moves/stretching. I particularly like Jodi Stolov's Chair Yoga because everything is done from a chair so nothing crazy.

    I have pregnancy induced carpal tunnel (again) and I've had this similar pain also.  I've been doing a lot of stretches to help with the carpal tunnel and those have helped with my upper arms and shoulders also.
