Are The Heavy Legs Due To Peripheral Neuropathy?

For several years I have had peripheral neuropathy, drug induced (nitrofurantoin), but a symptom other than the tingling and burning suddenly occurred this morning ... very heavy legs. Are they connected? Or are the heavy legs due to something else?
