JHS Expert: 20's pregnant female with arm pain who has eds likely experiencing increased joint laxity due to hormone relaxin secreted during pregnancy ; which increases joint laxity. Shoulder ; arm pain might reflect mild thoracic outlet syndrome (tos) whereby the shoulder girdles slope due to ineffective superior trapezius muscle tone. Shrug exercises might help.
