Heavy legs?

4 replies

Does anyone have any experience with heavy feeling legs? Every morning I wake up and my legs feel really heavy and painful - to the point where it takes me ages to feel ready to get out of bed.
I am moderately active (have two DCs to run around after, but do spend a lot of time on the laptop in the evening).
I was wondering if it was just age, or whether it could be some dietary deficiency. It is not a "problem" as such so I wouldn't make a GP appointment about it specifically, but I may mention it if I have to go for something else...

Clemette - I share your problem, but haven't much insight to offer. I would mention it to the GP (mine seems to be linked with various drug treatments I have been having). Things that help i find are keeping your legs raised when possible (for instance can you put them up when you're on your laptop,) I also sometimes prop mine up with a beanbag/pillows when I'm in bed.

Have also found body shop peppermint leg gel soothing. I do sympathise, I know the struggling to get out of bed feeling well!
