kalamazoo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 when i lay down blood pools in my knees, i can feel my pulse after a while and they start hurting. Then when I get up they hurt really bad but then feel okay after being upwards for a while. They are also kind of hot. It might be my erythromelalgia but I'm wondering if POTS is contributing. Any body else have this or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brethor9 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 yes! my knees are one of my worst spots for pooling....they go deep purple and ache like crazy! its definately related to POTS for me HTHBren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerAmy Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 My knees often hurt and I think it is because of blood pooling, but I can't actually see anything. I sometimes wear "shaping tights" and this seems to help a lot. (I haven't actually tried compression stockings yet--shaping tights are the cheap version you can get at the store.)
