Leg pain

I'm 21 weeks and my legs are killing me! I can barely sit in a chair for 10 minutes or lay comfortably, either way they are pained. They cramp up and I get horrible Charlie horses in my knees, I know I need potassium but are there other things I could do to help?

I hate bananas lol, I thought about trying to eat one but they make me sick. I also had back troubles before I got pregnant, bulging disks and it has gotten progressively worse

I got these pains a lot.  There's really not much to can do to get rid of them.  Just drink tons of water cause most of the time. It's just dehydration and eat bananas.  Warm baths and Epson salt soaks can help ease the pain as well.
