I have had a lot of lower back pain for the last couple of months which has gotten worse, it is not an achy sort of pain, it is more like a nerve pain that really snaps when I get up or down, along with constantly achy hips.

This week I have also been very badly constipated (I won't go into detail) and am on my 2nd day of taking actilax syrup, which the chemist said is fine during PG, but am still pretty backed up!

Also the last couple of nights I have started getting a few leg cramps - not too bad, I got them really badly with Jackson, but today both my calves have been really achy, the same feeling like when you feel a leg cramp stating up, but is there all the time, and tonight I have noticed that all the veins are quite prominent.

Just wondered if anyone was having all these together, and if they are related, and should I be concerned - maybe Alan could shed some light?
