Getting this dull ache in my shoulder area since couple of days and cant figure out why. Im in my third trimester so maybe its the posture or weight, not sure. Will mention to my doc but wanted to know if others felt this too.
My doctor said shoulder and back aches often come from posture changes and the extra weight as pregnancy progresses. Warm compress and gentle stretches helped me. But she also said sudden sharp shoulder pain should be reported, so dont ignore an unusual one.
Sitting at a desk all day made my shoulders ache a lot. Adjusting my chair and taking short stretch breaks helped. If it is just muscle strain it eases, but mention persistent pain to your doctor.
Most shoulder pain is just muscular from posture, but I would be cautious. A sudden severe shoulder pain, especially early in pregnancy, is something to get checked quickly. When in doubt, call your gynac.
