sharp pains

[juniorsmmy12]

I'm 23 weeks pregnant n lately I been getting these sharp pains that radiate up to my shoulder on my left side. Sometimes I can't even lift my arm. Im not able to lay on my left shoulder either. And it will also hurt when I breathe. Is this normal? Do I need to call my Dr or anything??

Yeah I have carpal tunnel too, that's n my wrist though. But I've had the pains n my side on n off for a little over a month. Ill check with my Dr to see what she can do. Its so irritating when it starts up. This is my second baby n I didn't have this with my first one, so just have to make sure its nothing serious. Thanks!!

I would say it is best to check in with the doctor if it persists. It may just be pressure on your phrenic nerve right under your diaphragm, when it is irritated it causes pain in the tips of the shoulder. That also can explain why it worsens as you breathe because your diaphragm moving up and down can irritate it more. Best to mention it to your doc just in case.
