Hello,
In pregnancy, it is common to have neural pains as the nerve endings get sensitive as there is excess vascularity of the body parts. Pressure effects of the growing uterus also plays a part. Relief can be obtained by adjusting postures, trying strapping of the legs at intervals and elevation. Supplements of B-complex group of vitamins also helps. In severe cases, medications may be needed to alleviate the neuralgia. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you safe motherhood.
