Leg pain since pregnancy? Please help

[Laurenjadebee]

I had a baby 5 months ago, and since my pregnancy I've been experiencing, what I can only describe as an ache in my right leg, which was at first annoying to just sleep on my right side. But only seemed to be a nuisance at night. Since I've had my baby, especially lately, it's seem to have got worse. I cannot put pressure on it all, even standing, or crossing my legs. It feels like blood isn't flowing to my toes sometimes, and then at times my leg feels like it's burning. Even though it isn't cold or hot to touch. I'm getting quite worried now.

That sounds quite dangerous. It could be a vein or artery problem. I would get my partner into emergency or at least ring them to be safe.

Good luck.

Go see a doctor Lauren, and let us know how you get on!

I rang the doctors and she said it doesn't sound like a clot or infection and if it goes red to ring again urgently. And just told me to take ibpruofen for a week and rest it as much as I can x

Could be sciatica, do a little research pregnancy can be a cause due to the extra weight your spine has to carry. Hope this helps, take care
