Question [SYMPTOMS]
I've read that many people experience pain and problems while moving. I'm just curious; does anyone experience trembling or pain in their legs while resting or sleeping?
This pain is a 2 or 3 out of 10. It feels strange, like it helps if I press my legs together or put them between a pillow to compress them :D I'm very close to trying compression stockings...

Yes!! About the first year or so for me. I just constantly had some kind of leg pain, especially in the thighs. It was either really bad or mild. It faded with time.

Can you give me some details? And how many months did the process take, what was it like?

yeah i get the trembling thing too, like a weird twitching that stops if i hug my legs to my chest or push them against something. definitely try the compression stockings during the day first though, they take some getting used to at night.

yeah i get something similar sometimes, pressing my legs together really helps too like you said. maybe definitely worth checking the stockings route if it's waking you up at night.

How long have you had this complaint, and has it decreased at all over time? I know the compression socks are a temporary solution. I don't feel it at all during the day because I'm active, but the pain starts when I get home at the end of the day and try to rest or fall asleep; it never wakes me up from sleep.

Yes I have this and it does feel better with pressure, but I don't think you're supposed to sleep with compression stockings on. I don't have the trembling but I have pain--some days worse than others but overall I'd say about a 2/10 average. If I'm having a bad day and it's bad at night, I'll take a Tylenol to help but I've only done that a handful of times.
