Leg cramp and constant ache in calf.

[cockle84]

I've heard it's normal to get leg cramp during pregnancy but I seem to have a constant dull ache in my left calf. At night this dull ache turns into agonising cramp. Is it normal to have the constant pain?
I'm 24+5.
Thanks

You need to rule out a DVT

Get to your doctors as soon as you can

Can you go on tip toes? Is your calf swollen and/or red

It may be cramp but best to get it checked out

Agree best to get it checked out to rule out DVT.

sometimes leg cramps are a sign of lack of magnesium. try eating raw cacao nibs in moderation. are you drinking enough water and excercising? try doing gentle leg stretching excerises a few times per day...

Does't seem to be swollen just - feels tight. Feels fuzzy (if that makes sense) when I go on tip toes. My midwife isn't available today - I'll try stretching it and see how I feel in a few hours. Would be difficult to get to doctors as it's quite heavy snow and don't want to get cramp when driving in these conditions ;0)

get checked for DVT!!

ok. Spoke to midwife and she advised doctors - just have to brave the weather! Thank you

Good luck - hope everything is ok
