Dead arm

[Italianbride]

I've woken up this morning with a pain in my right shoulder running down my arm and into my hand. It feels like someone has given me a dead arm!

I thought I might have slept funny and it would wear off but now I'm at work and it seems to be getting worse.

Any ideas on what this might be? Pregnancy related or just me going a bit mad??

Sounds like it could be carpel-tunnel syndrome. I had this for the duration of my last pregnancy (no sign this time!).

See if it continues or gets worse and, if it does, either your GP or MW can refer you for some physio...

Hopefully for you, it was a one-off following an awkward sleep!

I second carpal tunnel syndrome. I would go to your GP after work this evening.

Good luck.

Thanks both. I've just googled carpal tunnel and it sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing. Glad to know it's not just me being a bit doo-lally!
