What Causes Severe Pain In Between Knees And Ankles?

Hi, I am around 32 weeks pregnant, and just yesterday I started to feel really bad aching type pain in both my shins. The pain starts from just under my knees to my ankles, and it only affects the shins and all areas around the shins. The back of my legs (like my calves) are not affected at all. Hope you can help answer what causes this irritating pain.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Pain in the shins is something that is commonly associated with pregnancy especially late in pregnancy.
I would recommend that you should take tylenol or paracetamol 2 tablets as required for the pain.
Additionally taking a calcium supplement will also help.
