Shoulder Pain

Hi all I’am currently 7 weeks pregnant. It is my first pregnancy. Besides being tired easily, I have this intense pain/ soreness on both shoulders. Is this related to the pregnancy? If you have experienced this, what helps? I’m going for my first gynae check next week (w8) so I’m hoping to handle this on my own till then. Any tips would be much appreciated!!! So far I use Panadol extra and tiger balm to rub the area.

Try not to take panadol extra. Normal panadol or paracetamol is ok. It's normal to have sore muscles during pregnancy and the exhaustion during 1st trimester is real even if u do not do much physical activity! Warm bath works for me but if u don't have a bath tub, hot compress with a towel wld make u feel better or just paste those koyok (muscle pain plaster).

Hi! My gynae did tell me not to use salon pas (muscle pain plaster) as it is not safe. I am not sure about other brands but i would think it is best to avoid medicated plasters totally
