My legs from my knees down feel like they are swollen and the skin is very tight. They.aren't swollen. They also feel like they are on fire. I can't sleep. If you have this problem what'do you do? I have never had this problem before.

I have a problem some times if I have not taken my Meds at the same time. I usaully take a shower and cream my legs or message them I also have a small snack turn on soothing music and try to bring myself down, I might ,walk the hallway continuious steps, a warm bed and eventually I will get asleep. This year's practice I know I must not panic stay calm. It is lonely as only you can do it.If all else fails I take a Stalevo and spread out Meds for the nexterm 24 hours. I hope this is helpful. It is very important for me to relax and do something I enjoy doing and being wArm

Some PD meds (pramipexole) can cause leg swelling. Definitely talk to your MDS.

Call your neuron's secretary I don't know where you are based but in UK we should and I say should with the knowledge it does not always happen be able to have a med review ever 6 months. But you HAVE TO BE FIRM. I am guessing you have not tryed this put your foot down and do not take no for an answer.

My husband had those symptoms when on Mirapex. They went away when he stopped.
