Neck and Shoulder pain?

[TheHermitCrab]

Hello all!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant

Yesterday I started off with pain down the left side of my neck, going into my shoulder, put it down to sleeping funny (up until 12 weeks I slept on my back, so sleeping on my side is a nightmare anyway)

This morning I've woken up and the pain is twice as bad and leading to my arm. Breathing in makes it worse and it's throbbing like mad.

I also think I have a UTI, needing to wee a lot the last day or two and a yellowy discharge. (which I don't think is linked) But other than that I don't feel ill, or faint...

I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow night so It's probably not worth me ringing a doctor as I'll end up seeing her first!, but wondered if anyone else got such a sudden onset of pain in the neck? and is there any way you eased it, without painkillers?

Thanks all!

I'm 26 weeks and woke up today with awful pain in my arm and shoulder. My sister had the same as they said it was a trapped nerve which then went on and off throughout the pregnancy. I've just had a long hot bath and I can move my arm a bit more now but the pain is still there. Best get it checked out as yours is affecting your breathing.

Glad I'm not alone!

I can breathe fine, it's just if I breathe deep, then the shoulder really hurts!

I doubt if I call the doctor I'll get anything close to an appointment this week, will let the midwife know tomorrow night when I see her and have a long bath tonight when I get home and see if that helps :):)
