Unpleasant feeling in my legs :/

Hi everyone hope your all okay :)

I have noticed a new pain in my legs :(

It's the second time I have experienced this now and it's never uncomfortable.

I have been out in town today to do a few jobs before I go away, I have to push myself otherwise I wouldn't get my jobs done.

When I get home and relax I fine that I have an uncomfortable and painful feeling in my calfs, ankles and my knees. This continues for a long time.

Does anyone else experience this at all?

I'm so determined to get a wheelchair now as I won't get this problem. Not sure what it is, but I'm shattered now feel like I could sleep for a week :(

I hope I'm not going to have this problem when I'm on holiday.

Also I have only taking medication that I need with md and I'm looking to taking my meds in hand luggage, but I haven't got a doctors letter all the boxes have my name and address on. I saw on direct.gov that you can take the slips off your prescriptions so I have put that in with my box so if they ask the info is in there.

Thanks

Xx

Hi I also have been getting painfull legs for about 2 weeks now ! like you said painfull knees, calfs, and down the back of my legs , I had it once before and with a few gentle excersizers it went away but this time it dont seem to be working ! It makes you feel really down , bad tooth acke in both legs, I dont know if its to do with fibro or not. Ive been trying warming cream on my knees , it has helped a little, I also think it has something to do with my back problems . yes it is hard to walk far I,ve found .

My legs also feel very heavy ! does yours ? valann

Hi Valann,

Mines hurting a lot I'm not happy it's almost like I'm about to get cramp in the calf if that makes sense.

It's sore/painful yo stand and worse when I'm sitting :'(

Hi Susan and Valann. It sounds really like how my legs have been feeling for the last few weeks, last night was pretty bad and kept waking me up. Stretching doesn't seem to help at all. I'm seeing physio at moment for my neck and think I'll mention it next week. I also get a numbness in my feet, usually the left.

Keep going as much as you can. Is x

Hi Suffolklass,

Hi again. Will let you know. Where are you off to on holiday? Do what you can when you're away. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the weather, it's been unusually hot.
