heavy painful legs
 

When and if your legs gets heavy are they painful? My legs have gotten heavy before but not painful but today they are heavy and painful. Sorry if I ask too many questions but I always like to know things especially where my health is concerned and this is new to me. Although some symptoms are not.

yes. Mine does. If I am up on my legs long, they hurt so bad I could scream. Especially if I get in the mood to clean up. By that afternoon, I can hardly walk on them. Doc says not related to MG but it is a funny thing, when I was diagnosed and began my medicine, it totally went away. Now, it has come back and my fault. Playing around with my medicine and played havoc. But yes, the legs hurt and feel heavy.

I have a lot of pain with MG. It happens when my muscles are weak and I keep trying to do a simple activity like walk. The muscles just ache and ache. It happens in my legs, arms and even in my chest muscle affecting my breathing. It is my signal, I am doing too much and I need to retire to my recliner.

Acetominophen and tylenol help it some.

I write this as I am about to go out and shovel snow. I will be paying for that later.

Thank you lady's! yesterday I was busy and did not hardly rest and today I was trying to get some things done around the house and my legs started feeling heavy but they started hurting to and this is first time that I have had this but I can tell that I'm weak but need to get some stuff done..ugh..

MG gives you an activity hangover. Even if you get through the task, you will feel it and pay for it the next day and the next day. Sometimes even for a week. So don't think because you can do it, you should do it. You will pay for it later. Again, I say this as I go out for the second round of snow shoveling. I will need to stay in bed tomorrow.

Before IVIG, I would get this badly.. I walked around for about an hour once (on and off) when I was starting to go down hill.. It was a flat surface, nothing challenging considering I was a runner a few months prior... I couldn't walk for days.. my legs were SO weak and so sore, like I had done a 1000 squats and ran a marathon!
