Severe leg pain 34 weeks pregnant

[aleshaxxx]

Hi I have severe pain in my leg that goes from the front of my thigh to the side, calf and foot this pain is constant 24/7 which has got worse over the last month and left me house bound screaming in pain whenever I move and on crutches. The DRs ruled out a DVT but they are at a loss as to what it is and have just prescribed me pain killers which hardly work and told me to get a referral to a neurologist. Has anyone had anything like this I'm so worried it will not go away after my lil girl is here :(

i suffer from pain in my calfs day to day if i over stress the muscles, i wear these if i have to be on my feet for a extended period of time.Pressure applied helps relive pain maybe they can help or something simlar

Hello, sounds like you're suffering from sciatica due to nerve trapment. It's good that you've ruled out clots as potential cause from A&E. The best thing during pregnancy would be regular paracetamol and gentle back exercises, along with a trip to physio who may be able to help relieve some of the pressure in the back. Get well soon - these pains are very stubborn and not often easy to get rid of!

Yeah sounds like sciatica, I had that and found that stretching helped way more than any painkillers

I thought it may be they though I have no back pain and no pain in my bum? Does this potentially go away after labour? I'm praying it does x
