A member asked:

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and am having severe pain in my left leg especially behind my knee cap and sometimes up my thigh to my butt? what's wrong:/?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back or front?: This sounds like nerve pain. The sciatic nerve travels down the back of the thigh from the mid butt to the knee and down to the heel. The femoral nerve goes from the groin down the front and outside margin of the thigh to the knee region. Either of these nerves can become inflammed and irritated during pregnancy. Have your doctor evaluate these nerve regions.
