Yes, I agree, you need more information/opinions.

What medications are you taking, if any?

Wow, Bob. The trip home does not sound like it was fun, at all. I do think you should complain, that just isn't right, the way they treated you. Both Lufthansa and TSA at Atlanta. I don't know how...

Yes, there is a big difference between walking and cleaning the house. Take it easy, but that doesn't mean lay in bed all the time.

I don't have a definitive answer for you. But, I too have had feelings of heat in my feet and lower legs. I assume that it is nerve related, but don't know for sure.
