Suggest Treatment For Left Shoulder Pain During Pregnancy
I m 39 weeks pregnant and 4 days ago I felt a sudden pain in my left shoulder. The pain radiates from front to back and up my neck even causing some discomfort in my ear. The pain feels internal, it isn t relieved with massage. It doesn t hurt when I move my left arm, I feel pain when I extend my right arm. I feel pain in my left shoulder/ chest area when reaching for something or getting up from a sitting position.

Hi.
Why don't you try and drink plenty of water, eat small meals more regularly and ask your doctor if you can take any antacid orally (e.g. omeprazole), but only after discussing it with your doctor. Your issue seems to be related to a gastric cause to me.
Best wishes.
