What Causes Shooting Pain In The Lower Left Leg During Pregnancy?

Im 32 weeks pregnant, I was getting up to use the bathroom when my left lower leg (mainly back of leg) had a shooting pain in it. I can not put my leg down or put any pressure on it. I had to crawl and can not stop crying. What could this be? I do have back pain as always during this pregnancy, but im not sure this is associated with sciatica or not.

Hello, this pain is most probably due to some faulty position while lying down to sleep but in case it recurrs then visit an orthopedic surgeon and get it examined.
