POTS and hEDS - Anyone Else Experience This?

hi everyone!!! so i have POTS and hEDS and i get this super weird feeling that nobody has been able to relate to so i’m wondering if anyone here gets it. sometimes i get this feeling in my knees / calves where it feels like my muscles have rug burn and then i ran a marathon with spikes in a cage around my legs. it’s extremely painful and i still don’t know what it is 😅

That sounds like it might be neuropathic pain. For me it feels like having electrical shocks running down my legs and arms, but a lot of people experience it as a burning or stabbing sensation. It's a common symptom with EDS
