I am 6 weeks pregnant. The other morning and I woke up and my left arm was hurting. I figured I had slept on it wrong. Last night the pain got worse and I had to take off my engagment ring because even my hand was swelling slightly. Could I have pulled a muscle in my sleep? What should I do about it? Tylenol barely eases the pain. Hot and cold compresses? Is there any other pain reliver that I can safely take while I'm pregnant that may help?

You need to see your OB not getting random opinions here...
you are pregnant and that is too important!
the fact that you have unilateral pain (one sided) is the body's way of saying "PAY ATTENTION" PLEASE call your OB immediately and get into the office!
God Bless and Good Health!

Unusual swelling should be reported to your doctor. There are pregnancy complications that could be the reason for this (chemical imbalances caused by the pregnancy) or it could be related to other things. Hopefully, you have had your first prenatal visit already and have established a relationship with an OB/GYN doctor. Do not take anything else except tylenol - nothing else is safe at 6 weeks. Get it checked.

I'm 50, and whilst that occurs my wellbeing guide has me take Ibuprofen (my prescription suffering killer would possibly not even paintings rationale it is an additional style of suffering) & practice progesterone cream (in an additional spot whenever) from the wellbeing meals retailer as soon as an afternoon till my glide stops. The ibuprofen stops the suffering, the progesterone fixes the trouble for the following time round, for me a minimum of.

Go to the doctor. Don't take any chances being pregnant. Things that normally wouldn't be much could be something when you are PG.
Congratulations

Go to a yoga for pregnant women class. You can stretch out the muscles which are probably impinging on the nerves. Chiropractic will also help (one who knows how to adjust pregnant women). Stretching in general will help--before you go to bed and upon rising.

See a doctor. Don't assume anything - especially being pregnant

See your doctor. If you are on any new medications for your pregnancy they may be causing the pain
