*&%$# PAIN! Can barely walk
so for the past few days I have really bad pain in my left leg, by my upper thigh/hips.. it's only on the left side, and it lasts all day. It hurts so bad that I can barely walk and tylenol doesn't seem to be helping.
What can it be??

Try icing it. It sounds like a nerve. 20 mins on, 20 off.

I am SO sorry--if there's anyone that can sympathize with you, it's me.
I agree with Jenn's advice--try that first. I'm not much help because my leg pain stems from a disc problem in my back, and that can't be fixed until after the baby's born--I've had to be on Vicodin for most of my pregnancy.
The only thing I can suggest is whatever position you can find that gives you some relief, use it to your advantage. If standing and walking hurts, try to do it as little as possible.
Feel better

Re: *&%$# PAIN! Can barely walk
could be your sciatic nerve or SPD like I have - a softening of the ligaments
how far along are you??

Re: *&%$# PAIN! Can barely walk
again, woke up pain free.. then 10 mins later *&^#!!! It hurts the most after I get up from sitting down for a while.
The baby has been kicking me on my left side (I think she's laying horizontally), could she be sitting on a nerve?
I will try icing when I get home tonight. Anything (but drugs) to get some relief! 
ETA: I am 28w3d

I was having horrible back issues a few weeks ago with teh same type of pain you are describing, my little  was also lying transverse (horizontally) and I was told that the pressure of her lying that way was causing two bulging disks that were then causing muscle spasms and sciatica issues.
I started physical therapy and therapeutic massage with the physical therapist adn have been working on lower back and pelvic strengthening exercises and my finally moved head down and I am MUCH MUCH better!!
Give your OB/midwife a call and let them know. Maybe they can reccomend physical therapy or somethign to help you!
I know how uncomfrtable it is, I was is so much pain and not able to function!
