Cramping and leg pain

Is it normal for the cramping to feel like its going down your legs??  I'm in a LOT of pain right now and starting to get really worried.  My 1st appointment isnt till next Thursday.  Any suggestions help!

Re: Cramping and leg pain

  • I get sciatic pain...always on my left leg....it's not too extreme though.

    I've had sciatic pain before as well and that was really painful. Did you move suddenly and get this pain or did it come out of nowhere?

  • I get aches in my legs with cramps, not as much with cramps I've had this pregnancy, but when I had my period.  If your cramps are severe enough to interfere with your life, I would call the doctor and see what they say.
  • It came out of no where i'm just sitting at my desk.  I've had cramps like menstrual cramps since day 1, but this is the worst its felt, really severe.  And just feeling it go down my legs has me worried.  I dont want to be "that girl" but i'm terrified of miscarriage.  And i've had 2 surgeries for endometriosis, I wonder if that will affect the pregnancy.

    I work in a doctor's office where I get a lot of nonsense calls that are really annoying, but honestly I would rather people be "safe than sorry".  I tell them to always call if they even have just 1 "stupid little question".

  • call your doctor. I thought for a second you were just talking about leg cramps. But if it puts your mind at ease I've had cramping where it hurts up until my knees...

    definitely call your doctor because only he/she can give you the best answer.

  • Thank you guys!  Especially for not making me feel like a wack job, I'm very emotional this week and feeling very alone...its nice to have these boards to have others to relate to.  Thanks again!  I'll let you know what the doc says.

  • Good luck and I can't wait to hear what the doctor says. I understand your emotional standpoint as I have also been having severe cramps, but they come and go, and since everyone already knows about me being pregnant, I fear that i'll miscarry. When I do have those cramps I even go to the bathroom to "check" for bleeding. So your not the only "that girl" freaking out about everything.

     Wishing you well!
