Numb legs!!

I'm currently 17+5 weeks. I have arthritis in my right knee, have done since I was 2. So used to dealing with it on a daily basis. For the past 2 weeks I've had really bad hip/knee pain, struggling to walk and my right leg goes numb sometimes. Sometimes goes as far down as my ankle but mostly just goes numb between my knee and hip. I said to the midwife and my doctor about it and they didn't really say much, my doctors referring me to the orthopaedics but I'm currently on holiday and it's really playing up 😭 has anyone else suffered with this in pregnancy? And does anyone know what it could be or if there's anything I can do to stop the numbness?

Not sure if it's the same but I have meralgia paresthetica, so my thigh is numb and often wakes me at night as it then feels like it's on fire. All the Midwife has said is that it will resolve itself after the birth...only 21 weeks to go!
