A member asked:

Im pregnant and my whole leg on my left side and the back is all painful, im unable to sit?

Sciatica?: Is leg swollen? Must be sure it’s not a clot but if not swollen sounds most likely to b sciatica from strain on back form pregnancy. Need rest and gentle stretching and if intolerabl would consider acupuncture as effective treatment that won’t endanger baby

My period was 5 days late, so I thought I might be pregnant. Now my period has come but it is weirdly watery and more painful than usual, with pain right where my left leg joins my hip. I'm worried it could be an ectopic pregnancy, but I'm unsure?
