Leg pain at 14 weeks.

Scarlett • Sat, Sep 26 • Hello there. My name is Scarlett. I'm 24 years old, married, and expecting my first in March.

Hello everyone.

I've been experiencing some discomfort in my left foot for several days. Today, it's radiating up to my left knee cap. I have type-2 diabetes, but this doesn't feel like nerve pain I've experienced in the past. Frankly, it feels like lactaid acid build-up. It feels more like bone pain, than muscle pain. I feel it mostly in my ankle bone.

My leg and foot don't appear to be swollen, no pitting, and there isn't a change in color. I've been soaking my foot, taking medicine, and trying to massage it to make it feel better. I keep my feet propped up every night.

I'm wondering if this diabetes related, or the several leg issues I've heard pregnant women talk about. I'm trying to manage it before I tell my doctor.
