Hello all!
I an in my 17th week and got a rather sore hip (on the left side) the other day. I attributed it to sitting on the couch for most of the day! I had a bad night with a bit more RLS and some associated pain in my legs after the hip pain, so last night I had an epsom salt bath before bed and made sure to take my iron and cal-mag. My KNEE started hurting SO BAD during the night that I couldn't sleep on my left side at all because the pressure would wake me up, and any time I moved my knee the pain would flare up. Sleeping propped with lots of pillows on my right side helped a lot as long as I didn't move that leg. I thought getting up would help this morning but my knee still kills unless I just keep it still in certain positions and none of those seem to be weight-bearing positions. I am also more sore on my other hip and that carries a bit down to my right leg. The knee seems to be connected to the hip pain (same kind of pain) and it's a dull ache which burns when it's bad. Both legs sort of have some RLS-ish twitchy feeling still since I've been up.
What is going on and what can I do about it? I plan to see my Chiro this week which is what I figured would help my hip, it always does... but this feels different somehow.
