hiya ive been getting really bad water retention in my legs espesh my knees, have swallon feet& hands. when i move my feet they go tingly and my hands are the same. im also finding it very painful to walk and to bend my knees. im 25 weeks pregnant and worried that it could be a sign of something. i know most woman suffer from mild water retention but this is getting painful. ive had to try and elevate my legs above my heart, drink plenty of water and lots of rest but none are helping. could this be a sign of pre - eclampsia? please help x
