cramp in left leg

[Navjot_1]

Hi

I give birth to my second child 3 weeks ago and get pain after 2 weeks in the lower left leg. Which is worsing day by day

Anyone knows what it could be

I would call 111 and get advice on this or call your gp and book an appointment tomorrow. I wouldn't risk not getting it checked by a doctor. Congratulations on your baby and hope you're feeling better soon

Hi, i don't know how good this advice is to you but i had pain in both legs and my doctor gave me calcium n iron which i had stopped after only taking for a week. We as new mum don't pay much attention to our health which we should i take it as if i am good i can take good care of my baby. Also if you could do some massage i have felt little better.Congrats on your baby

please speak to your gp or 111 today. It could be nothing but it could also be a DVT, which depending on your medical history you can be at risk for post birth. I’m not trying to scaremonger and it’s probably nothing but please get seen asap. And don’t massage it until you know what it is.

Congratulations on your little one x

Congratulations on your baby. Get it checked...just in case. I had a pain in my leg which turned out to be from my back. I had a course of physio which helped but initially concerned it could have been something else. My HV was great and on it!

Hormone levels. So high!

I feel you should inform your doctor/ and birthing people.

If you had Endometriosis or perhaps now find out! Estrogen! Anyway follow up. Bloods etc. Just incase there's something else going on a cyst or fibroid.

Best wishes.
