Why Am I Having Abdominal Pain Along With Shoulder And Arm Pain?
hi,i am 7 weeks pregnant and i have not done my dating scan yet,I was told my first dating scan would be at 10 week.But i have been experiencing some abdominal pain usually on the left side.Its very mild though.And i started noticing some ache on my left arm and shoulder 2 days ago although i was tested for Tb Skin test 4 days ago and it was negative.my question is what could be causing the pains in the left side of my abdomen and my left arm and shoulder,could it be the tb test that is causing the arm and shoulder pain and is the left sided abdominal pain a normal symptom of pregnancy?Thanks

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Left abdominal pain could be normal and just plainly due to pregnancy, but some women do require hormonal support so it would be advisable to visit the doctor for the same. As for the left arm pain, if at all this was the same arm the Mantoux test (TB test) was conducted, then the pain is quite simply due to the test.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
