I, as well, have felt heavier ...... but I attributed it to actually being heavier, from less activity and eating the same!   :-[  I think some of it has to do with relearning how to balance, which includes lifting my feet higher and wider ..... to minimize stumbling, from which I do not do well in recovering quickly.
