Heavy legs ((フランス語:jambes lourdes)) is an alleged medical condition, described as an "unpleasant sensation of pain and heaviness" in the lower limbs. It is of French origin but is occasionally seen elsewhere. Due to the limited recognition it has received, and because of its proliferation in the media and by the alternative health community, many medical practitioners believe it is a sign of hypochondriasis. The cause may be venous insufficiency or peripheral arterial disease. Remedies may include drinking plenty of tea, essential oil massages and walking in the sea; or alternatively sleeping with the legs elevated, wearing compression products like support stockings and possibly taking diuretics. It was described by BBC reporter Emma Jane Kirby as "a curiously French complaint ... the illness you can only get in health-conscious France." ==See also== *Myasthenia *Myopathy *Restless legs syndrome *Lipedema *Statin#Adverse_effects 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「heavy legs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
