Anyone heard of something called marble legs

[coolpolitealex]

Hi everyone, I was explaining some symptoms to my physiotherapist and he called it Marble Legs, at the time I never thought much more about it till I got home.

So if anyone can add anything more I'd be grateful thank you

livedo reticularis. As far as I know, it can be quite benign (i.e. no cause for it) or can go along with autoimmune conditions. Its something that rheumatologists notice, but don't seem to really do anything about.

sorry earthwitch, would have said thanks earlier but forgot, aye it's strange, but I've a few probs with neck and back nerve pressure , I've pressed ahead for many years and apart from the pain I try not to let it stop me as I think it is important to keep on my feet, and as my walking is problematic , it's just that I can't get a straight answer out of the lot of them, Marble legs is the latest, Oh and they reluctantly agreed recently (after years ) that there is nerve compression , but still won't put it in writing, I wonder why that is ? but their not that bad as I''ve been a pain myself, anyway thanks for input

Hello there yes i have heard of it it is usually caused by the slow blood flow and makes skin appear lacey purple. has your doctor not given you advice on how to help it?? it can be helped by warming the legs however check with your GP as this may have other effects

Hope this helps
