I also have the heavy leg syndrome, I can't move my right leg and the other doesn't do much either..I sleep on my left side because of the right leg..I am somewhat inclined pillows, pillows, pillows...I use one between my knees, helps elevate and that way they are not lying on the other one, joints hurt when they have been in one position for so long..and yes sleeping is difficult....most all of my problems thus far are on the right side of my body..loosing strength in right arm..getting into bed in and out of bed , into vehicle from wheelchair and from vehicle to wheelchair. This works for now..but I know in the future someone will be pulling me across the board..but you can take it wherever you go.
