Tired Leg

My story is long but not as severe as others I've read, so I won't go into it all. My problem right now is that my leg is tired all the time. I had a 2" clot in my leg back in Dec 07' and now my leg is tired all the time. I walk on the treadmill, use the eliptical, or walk around the block. I have a yoga class once a week and practice it twice during the week. No matter what I do my leg is always tired. It feels heavy. Is that normal? Does anyone else have similar problems?

" I'm new to all of this (just diagnosed 4/8/08), but from what I have read and what my doctors have said, this is common. My doctor told me yesterday to start swimming which also seems to be highly recommended by many. Have you tried that? Good luck. "

" I know exactly what you mean about tired legs. I now have my 5th blood clot. Unless you have had DVT's, you DO not understand how tired your legs feel. If my leg gets really tired and begans to hurt it makes all of me tired...lol I try and keep going, but it's veryy hard when you leg feels tired allll the time. Best of luck to ya! "
