3rd trimester
inflamed tendon
Linda hoppenerGuest ·
hi hi
i'm linda, now 28 weeks pregnant and haven't been able to walk since week 22.
the pregnancy itself is fine, just really nauseous in the beginning.
until i suddenly got pain in my foot, first walking was very bad and now i can't walk at all.
after many tests at the hospital it turned out i have an inflammation in my foot and fluid in and around the joints.
the fluid isn't so bad but the inflammation in my ankle causes so much pain that i can only put weight on one leg. this is very unpleasant, i've been lying completely flat for 4 weeks. so resting doesn't help either.
the doctor prescribed me ibuprofen 200 for a week last week, in consultation with the gynecologist, but unfortunately this doesn't work either.
i just hope it goes away soon because otherwise it'll be a long time until week 40.
and will it get better after? has anyone maybe had a similar experience?
best wishes, linda
