Leg Cramps Why have I begun to suffer from leg cramps The growing pressure of the uterus
on certain nerves could be responsible, as could an excessive intake of
phosphorus and a shortage of calcium. Perhaps you should consider correcting
your diet. Alternating periods of activity with adequate rest, and wearing
support tights may help alleviate leg cramps. You may also try exercising
that leg gently or standing on a cold surface.
Why do I have a shooting pain down the right side of my hip and leg As usual, the culprit is the pressure of the enlarged uterus that has affected the sciatic nerve and caused pain in the lower back and leg. You might get relief as the baby's position changes, or after delivery. Until then, get adequate rest and apply a heating pad. Your doctor might even recommend special exercises.
