Morning all

I’d like to ask if anyone has a really heavy like feeling in feet up to knees when laying down. It’s as if I have heavy blocks attached, and very fuzzy (hope that makes sense) I seem to get it now every morning around 4am, when I think the pregabalin has wore off.

“Heavy” feet/legs is a common complaint of those with venous insufficiency, a symptom of an underlying venous disorder that causes deoxygenated blood to pool in the legs instead of returning to the heart.

Thank u for your reply.

Is this nothing to do with erythromelalgia?

I’m not sure. You should share your concerns with your doctor. Someone did ask a similar question here a few years ago. You might want to reach out to that member and ask about their experience. (I’ve included that link below.)
