Excruciating pain in my right thigh

shampain · Dec 17th, 2008, 17:22 PM

Hi just wondering if any ladies have had this or have this, its only come on the past few days, its not sciatica because i have suffered with this before and its a different pain, plus this is in the front, top of my thigh. I seriously cannot walk proper and going up and down stairs is agonising, to the point is bringing tears to my eyes. I had a bath earlier and it eased off but now its come back...ive been sat with my leg elevated to and still no diff...going to bed tonight is going to be hell...im so fed up with it..as if you dont walk stupid enough when ur preg..now im limping too...

Could it be cramp?

Maybe you have pulled a muscle without realising? I had a huge cramp in my calf one night and the calf has been really sore now for a few days.

Hope it gets better for you

Is it tender to touch? look red/inflamed? - if yes I would get it checked out, could be a DVT (dont want to scare you)

Nope, none of the above, it feels like its nerve but im sure they are meant go to over a few days? Ive had this since monday and its not letting up. Ive just gotten up and its slightly better than yesterday but still very very painful.

baby prob laid on a nerve hun i had this in my prev pregnancy, it only effected one side then a few weeks later effected just the other side

I've got a numb area on my thigh and find it strangley fun lol, when i spoke to consultant yesterday they said it was baby lying on a nerve causing it, it's strange as i can stab myself and can't feel it, perhaps your lo is on your nerve

I get this a lot at the top of both thighs - it's caused by the uterus pressing on a nerve that passes along the top of your pelvic bone. It is absolute agony but apparently there isn't a lot anyone can do about it!! Gets worse for me when baby starts moving around cos he/she is so low down now. Looks like it's just another tick on the annoying pregnancy symptom list!

Any ladies have any experience of SPD?

Hi Shampain,

Just thought I would reply to your post, and to maybe see if any other ladies are experiencing the same. I am 28 weeks pregnant and from about 12 weeks I have had a severe pain in my lower back on the right hand side, which has recently spread to my thigh and right knee. The pain is so bad that I dread sitting or lying on the sofa at night to watch a little bit of tv and lying in bed is very painful especially if I have to turn from one side to the other. I wont even speak about trying to get up in the morning...that's when my limp is worse!

I have been to the doctors who have said just take paracetamol which I have tried but nothing in the world helps.

Just the other day, I thought I would try and diagnose the problem myself so type all my symptoms etc into the net and SPD came up. After reading about this, I am positive this is what I am experiencing. I still haven't found any cures yet unfortunately!

Hope you feel better soon.

Yvonne x
