Q: Knees And Stuff
asked by: ThriftyGal on September 29th, 2006

My knees have been killing me, especially my right. It's at the point where it hurts to walk, or move in general, and to straighten out my leg or bend it back. And I have to do a lot of walking in the day. Also my legs seem really thick and swollen and hurt a lot. I was wondering if this was pregnancy related, and if it was if there was anything to be done for my hurting knees, or if it is due to something else.




Also i've been sick lately, a cold or something, but today my tummy started to hurt really bad after I woke up from my nap, and then I went to the bathroom and started puking sooooo hard. It sucked, because I was puking until I peed myself, and then (i thought this only happened in cartoons) I started seeing little dancing lights. I've passed out before, or felt really dizzy but i've never seen lights before in my life. What could it mean?

Aww hun, poor you, that sounds horrible Sad

the swelling in your legs and the pain in your knees sounds pretty straight forward, you're carrying extra weight round with you now and it's putting a strain on your joints and ligaments etc.. But if it's really severe maybe you should consider seeing a doctor just to make sure it's not something more serious.

As for seeing weird little lights, I get that quite frequently actually so it doesn't seem weird to me anymore. Hehe. It probably happened because you were puking so hard.. That's happened to me before.

I hope you feel better soon!
