oh no! bad ligaments!!!

[brit0585]

I am having an issue with this whole relaxin hormone!! My ligaments are not being very supportive lately and Ive had a few little problems.. Last week my knee almost popped out of place.... and today my leg twisted funny and i lost my balance. What should I do??? I am afraid at any moment I could fall over. No joke!! Ive had this problem since I was little where my ligaments are like overstretched rubberbands and they just give out whenever they want. Thankfully today when my leg gave out I was only 4 inches off the ground.

Does it feel to you like the motion of ringing out a towel??? Thats the only way I can describe the feeling of my knee. Yes accompanied by a horrible pain after and not being able to walk for a while. Yes I am starting to learn that every part of my body is being affected by pregnancy and there is nothing that can really be done about it!

you could use a knee support brace to help keep it in place? might help?... i swear my right hip is gonna pop outta place at any given moment! its not a nice feeling at all!  its accompanied with a sharp shooting pain as well and i drop everything already! lol pregnancy feels like you lose your whole body to some kinda "side effect" like really what doesnt get effected? lol Honestly you cant read this in a book and actually understand what truely happens... not to mention a man will never understand.... well other than that man that had 3 kids lol...

Oh my that is scary. Please be safe and not too much walking.  You could really hurt yourself. Im so sorry to here that.  I though me having arthritis in my ankle was bad but this is obviously a lot more serious because you can fall. You should talk to your doctor about this.
