A member asked:
I have bfs (twitching in calves). i wake up with a swollen feeling in legs daily, but moving will loosen; but always tired feeling in the legs. bfs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The symptoms of BFS: are more noticeable at rest than with activity. Unless you have actual swelling of your legs, BFS is likely the cause of abnormal sensations (paraesthysias) like you describe. BFS can also cause muscle weakness and generalized fatigue. It's commonly associated with anxiety. I hope you've seen a doctor to rule out other causes of your systems & discuss potential treatment. Dr. Anne.
