Since a few months I have a footstool for my legs to rest, most of the time in the day I put my legs high, like an old lady but it feels better.
Thanks! Mine usually wakes me up with the pain, now it is every morning, today it was twice; 3am and then 6am! I'll try the leg raising trick. My doc told me my leg circulation was fine, that's what I first thought it might be. And I'll mention the Amitriptyline drug to a pain doc when I find one.

Thanks again!
