That's exactly how I feel. My neuro think it's small fiber neuropathy. I'm suppose to get another evaluation June 15th from a different neuro and more testing to confirm the diagnosis. I've been dealing with it since I had my twin girls around age 31. My feet and legs burn a lot too. Right now I'm at work and sitting here I can feel them burning and aching constantly. Exercise makes it worse for me too. I started taking Plaquenil which has helped and it has allowed me to walk more, otherwise I was beginning to think I would end up in a wheelchair. What has your doctor said regarding yours?

I also suffer from the wobbly, painful, tired legs, combined with poor balance. Ok around the house most of the time, but stairs...like climbing a mountain, I often have to go up on all fours! I use a cane when I am away from the house, and even then it is for short distances only. Oh, btw, I am new to the site. Seems like a very supportive group.

Hi cinben I to suffer from this I explained to my PC dr what I was feeling and he put me on REQUIP at night it seems to calm my legs down it is for restless legs but the down fall is if I lay down during the day I can not rest due to my legs feeling awful and if I take the Requip during the day it will make you so sleepy. My mother takes one called Meriplex and she said it helps her legs great.

Flexeril always took my leg pain away. The minute I stopped taking it, my leg pain is now horrid.

Every day my legs hurt, but at night they ache so much I can hardly sleep. They aren't restless, just achy.

I can really relate - there are some great suggestions here.

Take care,

Lynn

I often have this consistent burning running down my legs and it is not pleasant. Dr. V thinks it's either my Fibro or my Sciatica, or both. You are not alone honey. Hugs GB

Sometimes they feel like they're made of cement. Or I'm walking in deep mud, can hardly move them at all. But the pain comes into my hips, dr. says it's lower back pain radiating. Doesn't matter, it hurts to walk, so I avoid walking.

Wrong attitude. If you value your freedom, you've got to be able to walk away! Will start again. Soon eough. Just need one day to reover from company yesterday! Sat too long,,,,,,and my body is still complaining. I am NOT moving today.

thanks guys -im not alone!I did go in the pool which helps-as long as i stay in the water,cant do that 24 x7!

Is this something recent? I am feeling an awful lot of body fatigue as of late. We are having a bad pollen season, I am hoping this is the cause. It's got to be over soon!
