This is my 3rd pregnancy. I suffered from reckless leg syndrome with my first 2 children, but it was never such acute pain. This time it just feels like sever growing pains that i havent felt since i was a child. In dont have any abdominal pain, just pain dowm my butt, into my thighs into my knees, calves, and ankels. And now its progressing into my arms.
I saw my dr this morning and everything seems to be fine. This pain started about 5 hours ago maybe

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
IT does not sound like preterm labour pains.
This sounds like cramps.
Take a lot of water.
Try and sleep / relax.
Take a painkiller also.
Are your BP and blood sugar levels alright ?
IF the pain does not relent, please go to the ER, as it might be labour pains then, particularly if they progress into the abdomen or back region.
