Re: RE:; Heavy Legs

[Guest guest]

I have heavy legs, but it is due to bad circulation, not any drugs. I can't

walk far and have used wheel chairs at airports for years when I travel.

Have you ever been to a vascular surgeon? They do tests that can tell right

away if you have a circulation problem . Bobby

I can sure relate to that. I have heavy legs but it seems that they feel twice

as heavy as normal. I am not a slim woman but I am not real big either but my

legs feel like they weigh a ton sometimes. It takes everything in me sometimes

just to lift them to take a step. Some days I am really exhausted and weak

feeling and you can even tell it in my voice. That seems strange to me but

sometimes you can't even understand what I am saying because I am so weak.

Hopefully it will all get better.

I keep seeing all these posts, and I am starting to think there is something to

it. I do not have thin legs, therefore, I thought this heavy feeling in my legs

is just due to the extra weight.

Even with my weight gain, I did not have a problem. Now just to lift my legs in

and out of the car is horrible, or to lift them up when I go to bed.

I think this could be another side effect, just seems like too many people are

experiencing it also.

I have not had Edema, but lately I see some in my ankles.

I have heavy legs, but small ankles. If I elevate my legs for awhile the ankles

go back to normal.
