tugging and electric type pulling

3 Replies

I don't know how much longer I can take this. I have constant tugging electric prod like feelings in calf, behind knee and thigh and on front of thigh. It is 24/7 and driving me insane. The gp is trialling 20mcg norspan patch which is having no effect whatsoever, just making me have drenching sweats and anxious. I am allergic to all the 1st line drugs like gaba and lyrica etc. It is so hard to explain the feeling but it is a mixture of the reaction you get when someone runs their fingernails down a blackboard and someone putting an electric cattle prod on back of my leg and running it up and down. I haven't slept since saturday night.......I'm nearly ready to give up and give myself peace. Has anyone got similar symptoms and if so have you found anything that helps?
