Women with endometriosis sometimes complain of weird sensation in their legs. Why does this happen? So, remember that that endometriosis is when you have tissue similar to the inside of the uterus that's inflammatory, but it grows outside of the uterus.

That inflammatory tissue can start to invade the space in and around where the nerves are. And when nerves get inflamed, they start to send signals of pain. Sometimes those nerves are the nerves that provide sensation to the legs, so when women with endometriosis can sometimes complain of a heaviness in their legs, a throbbing pain, stabbing pain, pain radiating from the low back down to the foot. It can be pain on one side, it can affect both sides. It can be worse during their menses, and sometimes it worse during walking or excercise.
