Question: Hi Doctor, I'm 16weeks pregnant now and I have severe leg pain when I sleep either left side or right side, I could even realize the pain in deep sleep and I don't have any pain when I sleep straight. I'm not sure what causing this discomfort.Can you please let me know any suggestions on this.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to hormonal changes

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are suggestive of hormonal imbalance and vitamin deficiency.
If it is only in lateral position it could be due to some nerve compression also.
Get your hb,thyroid profile, vitamin b12 and d3 levels.
Are your sugar and blood pressure are normal?
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
