My arm keeps going dead!!

It went dead in the night last night,

well when i say dead I dont mean like when you lean on it in the night then you move then a few min later its ok.

The best way i can describe it is that all th muscles from my shoulder down to my palm ache, its quite painful.

It wwas like that ALL night last night, then i got up and DH made me a sling and after about 2 hours or moving it was fine.

But both kids were ill all day so i put DS to bed at about 6pm and lay with hima nd it happened again.

I THINK its when im in bed and my arms lay out flat,

it was really sore and i got 'slinged up' again and its only just stopped hurting again

im scared to go to bed as i dont want another restless night and pain all tomorrow morning.

DH sai it may be because i went swimming on friday for the first time in 6 years, but i was with DS and was just int he abby pool, only had a 10 minute adult swim and wasnt very confident so doggy paddled!

please excuse my typing, my arm is still a bit sore.

Carrying a baby around can put a lot of strain on the ligaments and muscles. My shoulder was so sore at times from carrying my DDs that i had to not pick them up for a couple of days to rest it.

I think your DH might be right.
