I have been having this pain in my left
leg for some time now. I haven't even
paid attention to how long because I was
told it was my psyatic (spelling is wrong,
I know...But not sure how to spell it)
nerve. Lately it's been hurting so bad,
moslty when I walk...That I have to limp
to keep it from hurting anymore. It even
hurts if I sleep on that side at night.
Now today is the worse it's ever been and
I can't even describe how it feels. Like
when I lift my leg to walk it seems
something is pulling, or breaking and just
stings! Has anyone else experienced
this? I am a heavy set person to begin
with and now i'm just about 6 months
along, and have gained 1lb throughout my
pregnancy so far. If that info helps
any....
I'm not due to go back to the doc until
dec. 7th so I can stick it out until
then. I do have to call tho, because they
want me to take the diabetes test thing
when i'm exactly 28 weeks, and that won't
be for a week after my appointment, and it
sounded like they wanted me to have that
done by my next appointment. So we'll
see. Thanks for listening!

I really don't know what can be done about
this but I know exactly what you are
talking about.
I was just talking to my fiancee about
this two days ago. I have read that it
is a nerve but I don't see how it is being
affected. I am only 111lbs (gained 8 so
far) I am 17 weeks pregnant and I am not
very big at all, but I keep getting those
pains usually in my right leg and
sometimes in my left, every time I get up
from a chair or when I am getting up from
sitting on the ground and then for a short
period after that while I am walking. It
really sucks!!!!
I don't even want to think about how bad
it might get as time goes on :shock:

Not only is my little one sitting on my
nerve but one of the lower disks in my bac
back(s1) is swollen and has been for
awhile because of hormones and pressure
from baby.
My friend says to try a maternity belt, I
havent but supposedly it work, im just
using a product like rub535 and it feels
alot better doesnt always take it away but
it relieves some of the pain. Another
thing to try is stretching hoping the baby
will move the little buggers really want
tomake us uncomfortable lol!!!
Wish you luck but I think we all go
through it

Thanks for the info ladies! My baby is
very active so I would think she's not on
that nerve constantly, but maybe she's got
ahold of it lol. It hurts like crazy but
I don't mind it one bit because I know
what my prize is in the end! We're so
anxious for the baby to get here. When I
was first pregnant the time went so slow.
Now the time seems to be flying by and I
forget just how far along I am, I have to
sit down and figure it out!
So that rub535 cream, where can I get that
at? Any pharmacy I would imagine, but
it's hard telling! Again, thanks for
your time and info.
