pain

[AAOrozco]

I don't know if this is pregnancy related but I have been having horrible pain in my left leg. It all started when I decided to do some extreme cleaning in my home. I'm 30 weeks 5 days and my feet and ankles have swelled up. My feet and ankles started hurting a lot yesterday and then I went to bed was still a lil sore. But when I woke up this morning I got this huge cramp like feeling in the back of of lower leg. It was like a Charlie horse u would get in ur foot. Ugh it hurt so bad it put me in tears.. lasted about 2 min. And ever since then it hurts so bad to even put my foot on the floor to even step down.. anybody know what I could do to relieve the pain?

Yes a pillow helps a great deal. You need to elevate yr hip and knee so yr nerves, muscles and bones arnt pulling and straining. Its a major pain in the bumb lol to sleep with the pillows but youl feel beta the next day.

yea its lack of water. I've been getting them since I was little off n on. And when I would get them it was always when I wasn't drinking any or enough water. Plus I was told bananas help too

No I don't sleep with a pillow but could that help out to?

Try rubbing your bumb cheek. May be sciatic nerve or hips. Are you sleeping with a pillow between yr legs? I cramp up to mostly my calf and sciatic nerve plays up abit and hips. Im 33 weeks. Try a hot pack maybe.

Im not really sure what it is but I have the same problem. It comes and goes and my doctor said I wasn't drinking enough water and my muscles were cramping up. I always took a bath and drank lots of water and it went away. Good luck.
