Hi there, Yes I have had some problems with my legs and knees and I found that it was because I was not moving around as much since using the cpap. I found that after a bit it does improve and get a bit easier to get things moving in the morning but it takes time to happen ( about four months for me ) Like the mask it all takes a bit of getting used to.
All the best

I had this when I first started CPAP (and before I started CPAP) and it was really painful. As I got used to CPAP the pain went away. I've not used my mask for a few nights due to a painful nose sore which wont heal while using my mask so have had to leave it off.

Leg pain is back with a vengeance. The only assumption I can make is that it is linked. Weird though.
