A member asked:

Can lower back and legs aching be a symptom of early pregnancy? legs feel like they are throbbing when laying down at night

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Pregnancy is always a possibility. Purchase and perform a home pregnancy test. These usuallly turn positive when you're about a week late. If it's negative, repeat in a week and call your doctor.
