Bilateral lower leg pain in evening or with prolonged immobility

Anyone have unbearable pain in lower legs that feels like legs are cold. If I put a heating pad the pain goes away but as soon as the warmth is removed it comes right back.
In order to sleep I use a weighted heated blanket and can now make it through the night
Don’t know or heard of this, wondering if anyone experiencing the same

  1. , first off, I am so sorry you are experiencing this leg pain. I know this question may seem obvious, but have you discussed with your physician what you are experiencing?


    The pain you are experiencing could be related to your RA, but it could also be caused by something else. It's not unusual to have comorbidities when you have an autoimmune condition like RA, so you could be experiencing the pain due to another condition. If you have been diagnosed with any other conditions, you might want to see if your leg pain could be connected to those conditions.


    I do hope you get feedback from other community members, as I know that leg pain is a pretty common RA symptom, even if your pain is presenting a little uniquely.


    Thanks for reaching out and I hope you get some relief very soon!
