What Causes Intermittent Heaviness In Legs?
I have been experiencing this problem for over 3 years. Back dr, cardiolgist etc say it s not from their area. My legs go dead on me from time to time. Heavy can t hardly move ache. It last usually 2 or 3 mins. & stops. If I m not near something to hang on to, I ll go down. Use to happen 2 or 3 times a week. Now 2 or 3 times or more a day. Can t hardly walk anymore. If I sit down it clears up. Doctors say good circulation after they check but I m rapidly becoming an invalid. Out of options. I ve had a parking sticker for about 3 years. Can t walk more then 3 or 4 mins. Bending over effects the dead leg syndrome as I call it. Any suggestions?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the symptoms given here I would advise to get done the MRI of dorsal spine because it may be due to spinal degenerative disease, hope this information helps, take care, and have a nice day.
