shoulder pain

Is anyone experiencing shoulder pain? I have tried massaging it and taking tylenol, nothing has helped so far.

  • I had pain in my right shoulder and it ended up being a gall bladder attack my last pregnancy

  • Yes! Started last week. I talked to my dr about it he said could be my gait has changed due to the extra weight. Also could be me sleeping on my side now as well.
  • Perhaps look into going to a chiropractor? They do wonders for bone/muscle pain. Ruling out gallbladder attacks, it may be just spine/neck alignment issue and you need to just get adjusted. FI suffers from shoulder pain and he uses a tennis ball on a wall or floor and just roll on it. It may help. Someone else suggested Yoga. It is a great option too.
  • Are you sleeping with a preggo pillow like a snoogle or something?

    I've had issues with one of my shoulders since pre-preg and sleeping on that side causes issues like stiffness, soreness, and tingling. I find sleeping with a snoogle makes it incredibly worse because it doesn't really allow for changing of positions easily. I'd recommend experimenting with comfortable sleeping positions that avoids that side.

    Some stretches that help:

    Gentle neck stretches.

    Be mindful of your posture while sitting at a desk for any period of time.

    Same here.  I initially had neck/shoulder pain that then progressed to numbness in the right arm.  I went to an orthopedic specialist that sent me home with neck/shoulder exercises to do.  That helped a little.  The numbness has stopped, but it has now progressed to full-on carpal tunnel in both hands.  I hate to say it, but it could be one of those quirky pregnancy symptoms (peripheral neuropathy) that will go away once you give birth.

  • It's gone away for now but my Dr said that i may need to go to the chiropractor or get a preggiers massage
  • Its just where I've been sleeping on my sides, I'm use to sleeping on my stomach.
