What Causes Heavy Sensation In The Lower Legs?
Both legs feel heavy from knee down and walking increases this feeling. I was checked for PAD and my ultra sound showed good pulses at my ankles. I m also on a statin which I stopped for awhile and then my cholesterol went up. So now I tried taking it 3 times a week. That doesn t seem to help either. I m an active 76 yr. old female and I d like to find a solution. Thanks
