Question

Any idea what it could be? I am pregnant and cannot take meds, but a neurologist suggested mri of the brain after delivery so I am freaking!!!!

Help!!

Answer 1

your prob just sore cause of the extra weight in your body. try sleeping on your side not your back

Answer 2

dont freak out.. it could be a number of things.. if you are very far along in your pregnancy it could just be stress from the extra weight of the baby. could just be stress in general causing you to hunch or tense your shoulders, you couldve slept wrong and irritated a muscle, could be a muscle spasm, could also be a pinched nerve or bulging disk.. MRI is definitly the way to go to find out what it could be.. try doing some stretches, you can google some if youre not sure which ones to do. if you do the stretches at least once a day it should hopefully feel a bit better.. ask your doc first if it is ok to do the stretches, i dont see why it wouldnt be but its better to be safe than sorry! good luck to you!
