How Can Pain In The Elbows During Pregnancy Be Treated?

A month ago I had a glucose intolerance test. I m 31 weeks pregnant but since the blood test my right arm above the bend in my elbow has been quite painful. I ve had plenty of blood tests before and they ve never hurt. I can t seem to shake this. It hurts more when my arm is bent and I feel like I m getting pins and needles a lot in my arm. It hurts a lot to touch. I thought it would pass but it s been a whole month

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Your symptoms are suggestive of pinched nerve which is very common during pregnancy. It will go away on its own after delivery. Meanwhile, you can use an elbow brace.
