Have you been to the doctors, I only ask as my husband suffered from heavy legs a few years ago and one became slightly more swollen than the other. He was finally diagnosed with high blood pressure and a DVT. So I would get your legs checked out.
Thank you suzym2u, I'm on blood thinners for blood clot. & i called my doctor last week, & they told me to wait to see my consultant but that's 6 weeks away. I'll try my doctors again tomorrow. Thank you for your reply x
I'm not actually sure, the only thing I know is I have a lot of protein in my urine. October 2016 started off with kidney pain, then excruciating agony, first thought I had infection so they gave me 3 different types of antibiotics then assumed a stone, New Year's Eve I passed something I had multiple issues after that but they said I should wait it out took 3 months at home screaming. I bled for a week. 3 hospital visits 1 scan. Hasn't been the same since. I'll
What form of vasculitis do you have Laura? Because the causes of this can sometimes be associated with vasculitis directly, depending on the type.
For example people with cerebral (brain) vasculitis can often get limbs feeling very peculiar. It can be similar to people with multiple sclerosis. I've written about it before here at
But Susan's advice is very good in any case. 6 weeks away is too long for you to wait, especially if there's any chance it could be a blood clot. So get the medics onto it now.
Hey Vivdunstan, I'm not sure just yet as I am waiting for diagnostic tests for GPA. That's what the rheumatologist thinks I have, I'm on blood thinners for a clot I had a month ago. I also had a suspected TIA around 3 weeks ago. I will have a read & thank you for taking the time to read my post & comment. I've had a 7 year battle on and off. & the last few months I've finally been acknowledged!
I've just read the link ! The wrong feeling fits perfectly with my odd! You explained my leg horror to a t! & planks of wood is most right. I'm sorry to hear that you have had & are going through this. I wish I had a magic wand! I hope I get to see the rheumatologist earlier as 7 years is a long time with relapses. & no outcome, when I think back I've taken only paracetamol over the years to try & cure this & multiple antibiotics, I'm now antibiotic resistant. The last 2 months I've seen a few great doctors at the hospital. & it seems the wait was worth it, but not any better, & new symptoms with my legs is just exhaustive. Oops sorry I'm babbling x
