Is anyone else diagnosed with PMR experiencing weakness in their legs?

I have come to the conclusion that legs are very complicated and can not necessarily be used to follow PMR treatment. I was wondering if anyone else had their legs ultrasounded and had the results? I had mine and they are weird. Would be glad to compair.

Prior to my lymphedema diagnosis, the Mayo cardiovascular docs used ultrasound to check the blood flow in my legs and determined it was OK. Then they did a lymphascintigram which determined I had a lymphedema. Now I get to wear compression socks daily to help move the fluids upward out of the legs.
