strange feeling in leg

[Littlechopsxo]

hey guys. I know it’s late but I am freaking out!!!! I have a strange feeling in my left leg down the side, almost like pins and needles. I am absolutely assuming the worst ever. Trying my absolute hardest to not google what it could be. I still have feeling and can still put weight on it ect. It’s just think like pins and needley type feeling. Absolutely so scared 😭

[Trentz]

Try massaging your leg. Maybe your dehydrated? I really wouldn't worry

[Littlechopsxo in reply to Trentz]

I’ve been drinking water all day! It comes and goes this feeling in my leg, even when I’m just lying in bed relaxing trying to go to sleep ☹️

[Trentz in reply to Littlechopsxo]

I'm sure it's annoying especially when trying to sleep but I sure it's not serious.

[Littlechopsxo in reply to Trentz]

wish I could be so sure 🙁 thank you for trying to give me piece of mind, it is so so appreciated

[Sillysausage234]

what do you think it is and Ille bet you a piece of toast it’s not that

[Littlechopsxo in reply to Sillysausage234]

absolutely no idea! I have crippling health anxiety so my mind just automatically assumes it’s BAD 🙁

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Littlechopsxo]

I know you do so it’s nothing bad …stay off google and hope it goes soon ..

P.s. health anxiety is bad …sorry

[Littlechopsxo]

mind is going 1000 miles per hour, constantly getting my partner to check if my leg feels “ overly hot “ paranoid about blood clots ☹️ thank you for replying I do appreciate it

you’re welcome,it’s just your mind playing tricks on you ,..you know this you could write the book on health anxiety I bet

The sciatic nerve runs out from your lower spine, around your bum, and down your leg. So too much pressure on it somewhere along the line might make you have that tingly feeling. (I have it right now, from my thigh all the way to the bottom of my heel) as I've been sitting on my bum for far too long) I recommend walking around, less sitting or laying on that side, and try to keep good posture when you do exercise.

i sometimes have that i put my feet up it seems to help 😁

[Tealpillow in reply to Hb2003]

Same. When I was pregnant I would get tingly sensations in my legs like they were falling asleep. What HB said was what helped me. Prop those babies up on a pillow, massage those legs, and then let us know how you are doing today

[Hb2003 in reply to Tealpillow]

it helps with blood flow too ☺️ and it makes it less painful

[Tealpillow in reply to Hb2003]

totally!

Hi Littlechopsxo...I totally agree with "ConstantSoothing". Start moving.

Walking around, get that blood circulating. Get your mind on something

else and I bet that feeling goes away. I get that when I sit too long on the

dining room chair. It seems to cut into the back of the thigh causing that

pins and needles sensation. Take care xx

hi, I know this was some hours ago but just checking to see how you are? Have also got quite bad health anxiety and had the exact same symptoms. Luckily I was able to access Telehealth who did some health checks and ruled out all the major concerns I was panicked about. Do you have access for to something like that where you are perhaps?

[RayannAbbey]

l get it too x are you on any meds?

[SayNOtoPanic]

health anxiety is the devil. Try not to over worry or over think it. If it’s something you’ve never had before and you’d feel better having it assessed nothing wrong with that go for it. But you’re not alone. Def have dealt with that a few times especially during high anxiety. Hope it goes away soon. Hugs.

health anxiety is a b#t#h I suffer with it as well , last week I had that exact same feeling in my left arm , ending up going to the ER fearing the worst heart exam 12 X-rays later , couldn’t find anything wrong , the strange thing was that the next day it was gone 🤷‍♀️Today it’s been something different to worry about 😫 I really hope you feel better soon , I find not thinking about it and deep breathing really helps ❤️

[Wonderwalrus]

does it hurt? one side or both? maybe sciatica... Either way, try not to worry too much until you can have it check out.

[Lve2dance in reply to Wonderwalrus]

Definitely a good idea to try tele health or something like that. Google is great for certain things😊.., but it can be a rabbit hole for medical stuff

[Kamgal5]

watch Trey Jones’ youtube videos on health anxiety- they will make you laugh- once you hear him talk about his experiences, you will laugh because it’s exactly what we all experience with health anxiety, and hearing it from another perspective makes me realize how ridiculous I can be😂😂

[Ryleyboy]

Could it be a symptom of anxiety? I know when my daughter was suffering from anxiety, she had all sorts of strange and unusual symptoms like muscle twitching etc. When I checked the long list of symptoms, I was surprised there were so many odd anxiety symptoms

[Jaco2016]

Have it checked out - I’m currently dealing with a lumbar disc issue and I have similar symptoms.

[Sewingbuddy]

It could be a Charly horse, sciatica, or neuropathy. I have all 3 in my legs, neuropathy makes your legs and feet tingle. I use rest Tylenol or Advil and heating pad. How u feel feel better soon lol

[Wappawappa]

I have that feeling but it is in my arm. It is a side effect of luvox, the medication I am currently taking.
