Leg Pain

[MzBlu3]

I've been having problems with my left leg since I've been pregnant; like a pinch nerve and I'm having to drag when it hurt. My doctor just said its the stretching of the ligaments. Well I'm 21weeks pregnant and just started back working in a warehouse. I'm on my feet for at least 10 hrs with breaks in between. On my first day, my left leg just gave out and I was trying to put my weight on my right which didn't make it better. The arch of my left foot aching and I'm having to drag my leg again. What's up with that

Try yoga if you can. I had the same issue in my first pregnancy and once I started doing prenatal yoga, it went away. I just got a DVD and did it at home.

Sounds like your sciatic nerve. I had that with my first pregnancy and it was so painful. I would get shooting pains in my butt and all down my leg and my leg felt week sometimes. I've only had it 1 time with this pregnancy so hopefully it isn't as bad. Talk to your Dr. Again and ask him if thay could be what it is. Try taking Tylenol and getting off your feet when possible.
