Sore Legs At Night

[needawin]

My wife is a very, fit for her age, 76.
Takes no medication. Blood pressure excellent.
Arthritis in hands only.
At night in bed she has pains and aches in her legs. Keep her awake many nights.
Once she gets out of bed and moving in the morning the pains disappear.
Any ideas please.

My good friend gness swears by a herbal supplement called "Wonder Legs" - I was deeply sceptical until I had the symptoms described above and tried the pills in desperation.

I am now eating a lot of humble pie - but my legs don't hurt ...

Where do you get the "Wonder Legs",Dave?

[sunny-dave]

Amazon sell them, denton, not cheap but I find them effective.

Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

Also at places like Holland & Barrett

I use this gel in summer. It really helps, but cools the legs so not ideal for winter.

Thanks,Dave,I will give them a try.

[NickorWan]

I might try those pills, thanks.

[needawin]

Thanks to all

If anyone does try these pills I'd be really interested in your opinions. I ran out recently. Probably because Dave had been pinching them and delivery of my order was slow.
The difference in my legs during the time I was without them and when I started to take them again surprised even me so I'd love to hear what results, if any, others have...x

They seem to be very good and work. Interesting. I might ask my GP
If they are safe for me to take. I take medication for heart, BP and blood thinners due to AFib plus pain killers, so I am cautious!

[gness]

Good to be cautious Apc but worth asking your doctor and giving them a try.
Apart from pain killers I'm on the same medication as you for the same reasons. Never thought to ask my GP but I've had no problems and wouldn't be without these now. Best for you to check though..x

[Apc2604]

Thanks guess. Do your legs and feet get hot and itchy as well as aching?

[gness]

My feet a little, Apc but not my legs. I was diagnosed with intermittent claudication some years ago. Rather than surgery I looked for ways to sort it myself (thanks, Sqad) and Wonder Legs was something I tried.
I was both delighted and surprised at how well they work for me. I no longer have a problem with walking and the aches when I stand up after sitting for a while don't happen any more. I do know from reviews that they don't help everyone. Worth a try though...x

[Apc2604]

I think I'll try them. We are on the same medication and you have survived! I have a problem that all my joints are worn out because od a generic condition, so it's barely possible to walk about. If one problem is eased that will be worth the money. X

[gness]

My joints are okay so far. It was my veins and probably circulation that caused me so many problems.
Took me ages to get Dave to try them. His problem is achy joints. He is still surprised at the difference it's made to him in a short time...I think he was wary of my slightly quirky approach to dealing with health issues..... :-)

[NickorWan]

The gel I linked above is really effective if your legs or feet are hot and itchy. (Not suggesting you don't try the tablets, going to try myself.)

[Apc2604]

Wonder Legs ordered.

Thanks NIckorwan. The cream sounds good, but contains alcohol which is drying and my skin is so dry. Possibly thyroid, but I will sort that out when I can face more MEDICAL appointments.
