Back and shoulder soreness

Hannah • Wed, Jun 29

I'm 18 weeks 3 days. My upper back and shoulders have been feeling very tight and sore, which continues to add to the stiffness I'm feeling. (Pain when arms are lifted).Is this normal? I see the Chiropractor tomorrow and have an appointment on Friday. But so far heat, back rubs, and pain meds have been pretty ineffective. Advice?
