Hi,
I am wondering if anyone else has or has ever experienced the pain I am getting. I am 31 weeks pregnant and last week I started to get a pain in my left shoulder blade/middle of the back area, it felt like a pulled muscle at first but has since become worse with sharp shooting pains. I have tried resting it, not lifting anything in case it is a pulled muscle, I have tried hot & cold compress/sprays etc but it hasn't eased at all, if anything it has got worse, two days ago it has become sore to even touch the area.
I have tried ringing my midwife to ask about it but she is away on holiday so I cannot get through to her. I am wondering if it is worth going to the doctors or somewhere about it but I don't want to burden them over something that might well just be a pulled muscle, as a 1st mum I have no clue what is normal aches & pain, or anything pregnancy related so I apologise for sounding extremely dumb haha.
Any advice on this or what it could be? has anyone had the same? Shall I go to the doctors?
Thanks in advance & sorry for the long post
