What Could Discomfort Tin Elbows During Pregnancy Suggest?
My daughter is 23 weeks pregnant. Last night she experienced intense discomfort in her elbow joint, wrist, and armpit of one arm. It was so uncomfortable she couldn t sleep. No other symptoms but scratchy throat. Any idea what would cause this pain? Would a warm cloth help ease it for her if it happens again. The wrist & elbow pain are better, but the armpit discomfort continues.
Armpit discomfort could be due to a hormonal fluctuation resulting from pregnancy, as the lymph nodes leading to the breast lie in the armpit region. There is nothing much we can do about that and I am sure it will subside soon. And yes, you can use a warm pack or compress over the region.
As for the scratchy throat, if she develops a fever along with that then please report to her doctor.
Best wishes.
