My legs feel heavy at night when I wake up and takes awhile before I can move them what can I do

  1. Hi . Have you had a chance to speak with your doctor about this issue? I ask because it could be RA related, but there are also other potential causes, ranging from venous insufficiency, which is related to poor circulation, to simply being on one's feet for extended periods of time during the day. I mention this because I want to note that we are not medical professionals and, for your protection, cannot offer medical advice over the internet, but want to share with you this article on the topic: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321670. Hopefully others who have experienced this related to their RA will chime in with their thoughts. Hoping you can get some answers and relief soon. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
