Unbearable knee pain

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and my knee is hurting so badly . Paracetamol won’t do anything. What can I take to ease the pain ?

Have you tried a knee brace ?

Ice it x

@Krista nope need to get one

@Fiona tried ice and nothing, I’ve also tried heat and it also didn’t do much

Speak to midwife/obstetrician. Mine said I could take ibuprofen till just before third trimester. But also rest and ice, knee support. Maybe codeine. Elevate. Consider if you need to see someone about this pain.

If this knee pain is new, you need to be checked out by a GP. I have awful postpartum joint pain (specifically hands and knees) and I’ve been sent for blood tests and I possibly now have Lupus which was triggered by pregnancy and labour. Pregnancy can trigger autoimmune issues. It probably is nothing serious, but worth getting it noted on your records.

Could you try a wheat pack that you warm in the microwave and wrap it round xx
