Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant and is currently in her 35th week. She often experiences aching and soreness on the outer side of her thighs. What could be causing this? It feels better after resting, but why is that? Is it serious? How should I handle this issue?Doctor's answer:
Lower leg root pain, possibly due to fetal pressure on nerves, generally not a big deal. If the pain is between the two thighs at the pubic symphysis, it might be a bit of pubic symphysis separation, taking some calcium can alleviate it.
