leg pain contractions?

I am having terrible leg pain and pain in my knees.  Is this a sign of contractions?  I want to cry it hurts so bad.  I am swollen and filled with water, but I have never felt this bad before.

How far along are you? I don't think it's contractions. If you are far along, I'd say you have a lot of weight on your legs. Try to stay off your feet. Prop then up while u lay down. Like 4 pillows high. I'm sorry u r feeling bad. It will be over soon.

I've never had knee pains with contractions but I get serious knee and hip pains in pregnancy because of the extra weight!
