Really scared.. On call OB didn't answer. Help!

[babytimeee]

I'm having excruciating pain in my right leg from my knee down as well as swelling from my mid-thigh down. My toes feel cold as if there is no circulation but when I touch them they are no colder than my other toes.

Called the on call OB and got no answer.. so I called my ER and I'm waiting on a call back from the nurse.

It's definitely not muscular.. has anyone else had this? What was it? I'm scared. It hurts so badly

I feels as if my bones are on fire.

I would say to just go in, don't wait for them to call you back. I know swelling can be a sign of preclampsia...

Fx it's all good

 

[babytimeee]

Yeah they just called me back and said I need to come in ASAP.. looks like I'll be spending my night at the ER..

 

[RoxyRoo]

I have no idea what it could be but you're definately right to go and get checked.

I hope all is ok

 

[m0mmyCool]

Good luck! Hope it's not too serious.

Well that was a waste of time.. I'm still bawling my eyes out. They did an ultrasound of my leg to rule out dvt. The swellings gone but I'm still in so much pain I can barely think. They gave me tylenol and it did nothing..I dont even know what to do

Im so sorry sweetheart, but if their not to conserned I wouldnt worry all to much.
Just elevate your legs and give yourself a massage.
fx for you love.

I'm super relieved that they aren't concerned but I'm so bent with pain and I know nothing can be done for it and it's just torture. Honestly the pain is so bad I wouldn't be able to do much more than lay on the couch. I can't put any weight on my right leg at all without taking a tumble.. it's excruciating. And I have a pretty damn high pain tolerance! But this is so much more than a leg cramp/pinched nerve.. it just really feels like something is very wrong. If I'm not in crazy pain then from my ankle down I feel a burning numbness..

The only think I can liken it to is when my knees hurt when it's really cold or rainy. I know I'm only 20 but it feels... arthritic almost.

 

[babytimeee]

I'd love to massage it but OH tried and I just ended up screaming.. it's unbearable to have even a light caress

 

[DollFaceJessi]

WOW!
Cant imagine why there not more concerned.

Could be septic arthritis?? That's pregnancy related. I had it in my knee when I was 11 weeks. Hospital gave me antibiotics and co codamal. What did the hospital say? Xx

 

[babytimeee]

Hmm I'm going to have to look into that!

This is what drives me nuts.. once they ruled out DVT, they treated me like I was an idiot and told me to eat a banana and take some more tylenol. When I objected and said a cramp wouldn't last 12 hours long and cause swelling they switched and said maybe the baby is sitting on a nerve. I'm fuming.. I called my OB for a follow up but it seems no one is grasping how much pain i'm in so I have to wait until Friday.

ETA: I also don't see how nerve pain could cause swelling but what do I know.. it's only my body!
