Brief Answer:
Positional pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about pain in left arm.

Following is my reply:

1) Pregnancy is associated with hormonal changes and prone to pains.

2) It is possible that she has lifted some weight or hand was stuck below her while sleeping which is causing increasing pain.

3) Such pain generally reduces in 2 to 3 days. I advice not to take any medicines but wait and watch.

4) Meanwhile ask her not to life weight or do anyheacy work from left hand.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
