Hello everybody.  I wonder if anyone can help with a rather strange problem.
A friend in my local PDS group has started to suffer with what he describes
as a "Heavy feeling" in his legs - They are so 'heavy' that it is difficult
to walk. He is not suffering actual pain, just the feeling of heaviness.
The only way that he can get rid of the feeling is by lying in bed, or by
sitting with his legs propped up. He has very slight swelling of the ankles,
but not enough to account for the problem. The only Parkinson's Medication
that he uses is Sinemet: He takes 2 Sinemet LS and 2 Sinemet CR per day, and
was diagnosed 6 years ago. I'm not even sure that the problem is related to
PD  :- Any suggestions would be welcome
Regards,
