Q: 

What could be causing the tired and heavy feeling in my legs

I have noticed a new sensation in my legs. My legs feel as if I have weights attached that are just dragging me down and at times I do experience a lot of pain. I already take Lyrica for neuropahthy that was not being controlled by the neurontin any longer. The neuropathy was from chemo for cancer treatment.

You need to have an ultrasound examination of your legs. The status of the circulation in the blood vessels in your legs need to be evaluated. Blood clots can cause pain and heaviness in the legs.

Give your physician a call and make an appointment.

Best wishes,
