hmmm..

i am 5 weeks PP and since then have been getting really bad charlie horses , 2 weeks after i got a ultra sound done on my leg and they said i had no blood clots but i keep getting them not every night but almost every other and its like it will start and then go away. Should I call my Dr. asap in the morning or just head into the E.R and have them check some blood work and another ultra sound? I can't sleep and can't stop thinking about this !!

I would speak with my doctor, it doesn't sound like an emergency. I think if it were to be a blood clot you should be able to see some discoloration by now and the pain wouldn't just be every 2 days. You may be lacking some vitamins.

that is what i keep reading and then i see that some people dont know when they have one but its like i can't keep going to the er every time i have one so i think ill get in with my dr. and see what she says :/ it stinks being such a worrier !!

Could be lacking in potassium when i got them really bad my dr recommend 2 bananas a day it helped a lot

i just started drinking a lot more water and WOW def. did not have a head ache today and i'm also breastfeeding i was wondering if maybe this has something to do with taking a lot of nutrition ?? idk i just want to make sure its nothing bad but i dont want to sit here and over react and it's not something to get worked up about

Yeah it could be that you lacking potassium, calcium, vitamin B6, magnessium...different things, you should get it checked out.

when they did do the ultra sound thing on my legs they did not do any blood work to check for anything so i think its def. a good idea to get it looked at just in case. i did all the stretches they say to check for a blood clot and i dont have any pain so in a few hours i'll call the dr. and hopefully get in today. now if i could just get myself to sleep and stop worrying is the issue now lol

Try to relax, put a heating pad if it happens tonight and hopefully you can sleep well. I am actually going to try to sleep now.

Hope you have a good night (morning lol)
