Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hi Jill, I feel like I get them occasionally, but not all the time, mostly when I am fatigued or stressed. It is like I am walking upstream waste high through a river. I do not get the freezing yet. Tricia Jensenpajensen@... Heavy Legs Dear Tricia. I experience 'heavy legs' all the time and they have become heavier as this condition has progressed. As with many symptoms, it does get more noticeable if I get tired or stressed and as the day goes on. Best wishes, Jill Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Earl, Warren shuffles when walking and does have times when his legs seem to " freeze " . It has become worse over the last year. As for the neck pain, he has that also and I rub his neck with Aspercreme, which seems to relieve if for a while. Dr. told him to take Aleve for it and it also seems to give some help without being doped out. Sorry I don't have any more help, but the Dr. believes it is the progressing of MSA. Warren is 77 and I think age contributes to the neck and back pain. S. Heavy Legs > My wife Iris is having a great bit of trouble lifting her legs while > trying to walk.
