Needing advice on restless leg syndrom

edited April 2011 in Pregnant
I think I have developed restless leg syndrom in my right leg. Through out the day my quad feels like I have something crawling on it or it feels tingy/ numb. At night im dealing searing pain that feels like someone is branding me... Wakes me up out of a dead sleep. I slept with an ice pack last night for when the pain was too intense. I havent spoken to my dr about it yet but at my next appt am saying something. From what ive read u just deal with the pain till delivery. If anyone has any advice or other experiences please let me know... Im at my wits end :( I am 16wks today and I started noticing the pain when I was around 14wks. Thanks or any help!!

  • My doc told me it was because I was anemic and low on magnesium. Ever since I started taking supplements, no more leg problems! Just my experience, that doesn't necessarily mean you have the same issues. ;)
  • Yea i agree because iv have leg pains like that at night too..often. im not anemic and even though i take prenatals it did disapate. I had them before pregnancy
  • Could be a sign of preclampsia dont ignore it,
