Maybe try bracing:wrapping in an Ace bandage to keep you from hyperextending your ankle at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-pregnancy-side-effect-or-something-else#post-2612983 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 18:47:21 +0000 Bernieboo 2612983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been having some bad pain in my foot for a week or so (33 weeks). I was advised massage and rest. I actually saw my chiropractor on Friday and he said my ankle was locked up, most likely from the extra weight. He adjusted it and with some massage from my husband, it's feeling a lot better. You might try a prenatal massage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-pregnancy-side-effect-or-something-else#post-2612948 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:44:19 +0000 PinkElephant 2612948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: I've been having a similar issue (varying degrees of pain/discomfort and purple discoloration/veins popping up) since early in my second trimester. my doctor says it's just pressure from my uterus. Wearing a compression stocking on that leg helps; so does sitting down with my feet up (not easy when chasing my two kiddos, believe me I know!). Apparently the only solution is delivering the baby...sigh. 😝 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-pregnancy-side-effect-or-something-else#post-2612929 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:03:43 +0000 MrsRcCar 2612929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: They said they don't suspect blood clot because the pain is so low. The pain wakes me out of dead sleep. I need sleep to look after my two other boys. 😲 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-pregnancy-side-effect-or-something-else#post-2612924 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:59:07 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2612924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there is any swelling or discoloration, I would try to get it seen! Ligaments are more easily injured during pregnancy...and blood clots are more common! :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/normal-pregnancy-side-effect-or-something-else#post-2612919 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 16:54:25 +0000 MrsRcCar 2612919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok ladies. I am struggling with pain in my left lower calf/ankle/foot. It has been cramping off and on over the last couple days with lasting pain. The pain feels like tendon/ligament pain on the outside of my leg. I am nearly 31 weeks pregnant and diligent about my fluid intake to keep from being dehydrated. I am also making sure to keep my diet higher in potassium and magnesium. I called my doctor but they just seem to think its "normal" pregnancy side effect. The pain is awful. It feels like the muscles or whatever have ripped the ankle bone apart. 😭😭😭 any suggestions? </p>
