Restless Arm Syndrome?

Question

Almost like RLS but in your arm? It's a rather annoying feeling. I've had it since last night and it hasn't gone away since I woke up this morning. 
Any tips to help relieve this annoying sensation? 
I get temporary relief when hubby massages it.

Answer

Sounds like baby may be pressing on a nerve. If your not too far along I think different activities or laying in different positions may get baby to move. I can't remember for sure though maybe google and see what a reliable site says about getting baby to move position. If that doesn't work I know that there are some OTC pain creams with lidocaine that might numb the nerves but definitely ask your doc first to make sure there safe for you to use while pregnant. Good luck

Oh my goodness I have been tormented with this for the past few weeks - makes getting to sleep hard or just relaxing in the evening (mainly) I've tried all different things but nothing has massively helped - tried salty food and a big glass of water before bed which helps but then I need to pee!! Also read somewhere it helps to increase magnesium (don't like taking too many things when preg and my pregnancy vitamins contain magnesium) so I have been trying to increase eating foods with magnesium xx
