Current medical status: i am pregnant but all my life i have had an achy left leg and for the past year an achy left arm when there straight they want to be bent and when there bent they want to be straight, more so my arm is just aches"
Pain in the leg and arm could originate from the muscles (myalgia), joints (arthralgia) and/or nerves (neuralgia). Your description of the pain is too poor to distinguish the origin of the pain. You can consult your GP about this and request necessary examinations in order to diagnose the tur origin of your pain.
