Old injuries during pregnancy

[LaPaix]

Hi everyone! I am 16 weeks pregnant, I was hit by a car over ten years ago, broke both bones in my left leg (one of them piercing my skin). I have not had any major problems with it since the accident, but it is constantly swollen and tender. I practice yoga daily, walk and bike, but anything like running or skiing causes it to swell and be very uncomfortable.

My question is - did anyone have a similar injury during their pregnancy and if so, what kind of effect did your pregnancy have on the injury? I have asked this question to both my obgyn and a chiropractor and they both said the same thing - sometimes it cause problems, sometimes it doesn't - I have to wait and see. 

I would just like to hear other people's experiences and know if there are any preventative measures I can take to avoid major swelling, stress fractures, etc.

Thanks so much in advance!
