Hi tickytoo,

May I ask how old you are? Do you have chronic veinous insufficiency? Have you been to a doctor for your pain? There are a few different reasons behind heavy legs and I was wondering if you have been diagnosed with anything at this point?

If your pain is associated with vein issues, without treatment, it will worsen as it is usually due to your veins enlarging. Can you give us more information about if you sought treatment?

I have told two or three different doctors about this problem. They didnt think much about it and made some comment that it wasn't edema.
Guess I will have to push the issue along with all my other problems. E-Gad I am sick of doctors. Most have no patience and only have 10 minutes to get you in and out of their offices.
