Extreme Arm Pain - Help!

[ginamurr]

Need some advice or help - anything! I am 16 weeks pregnant with my 4th. With my 2nd pregnancy I had really bad carpal tunnel syndrome that started halfway through my pregnancy and got gradually worse as the pregnancy went on.

Ok, so yesterday when I was pumping gas and noticed some pain in my right hand. Then, it started traveling up my arm throughout the day. By the time I went to bed, it was worse and I wound up waking up in the night because of the pain. It was SO BAD that I couldn't stop crying! It reminded me of my worse nights with carpal tunnel in my second pregnancy. I was rubbing icy hot all over my arm and shoulder and eventually I had to take a Tylenol PM (approved by my dr) so I could go to sleep. I can't really understand how my pain can go from 0 to 10000 in just a matter of hours with no prior issues this pregnancy.

Has anyone else experienced this? How did you remedy it? Anyone visit chiropractor for pregnancy pains?

Around 16weeks i was getting a lot of pain in my inner elbow and sometimes running from my shoulder to wrist. I could barely lift anything. Turns out im anaemic, iron sorted it out quickly. Maybe you have the same issue?
