@pah17, What you describe with how your legs feel at night is pretty much the same for me. Are you by chance a side sleeper? My legs have kind of a heavy or funny feeling when I lay down at night in bed. I do wear compression socks during the day to keep the swelling down in my legs as I also have lymphedema. My right leg is a little worse but both legs feel squeezed during the day while I'm wearing the compression socks but they don't hurt. It does feel better as soon as I take the socks off but then when I lay down I have trouble getting comfortable. I have found using a small travel pillow between my legs just above the knees seems to help some, especially when sleeping on my sides. I'm not sure there is anything that is pretty typical about the progression of neuropathy due to a lot of different possible causes and each of us being a little different.

Do you have any swelling of your legs during the day?

John, I used to do that before I got so restless at night. Between the tossing and turning and having to re-adjust the pillow, I stopped.
