Strange shin sensations! Is this just me?

This may well sound weird, but over recent months I have this strange sensation down the front of my shins. From knees to feet. Neither a pain, nor an ache. Not pins and needles and not itchy. Sort of as if my skin has been rubbed down with sand paper till it stings.

I take Sulfasalazine, Hydroxychloroquine and Methotrexate. And I have Sjogren's as well as RA.

Is it just me? And if not, what can I do about it?

Hope someone can put my mind at rest.

Phoebe I also have this. I was told it was from my hip. the nerve is pinched, causing a strange feeling. I suufer from bursitis in my hip. It does not effect my upper thigh only my my shin. Also, I have restless legs. Make sure you as your Dr about this. It feels strange doesnt it? Pray you feel better and get some answers. Take care Linda

Thanks Grammie!

You have made me feel better already, just knowing someone else has the same strange sensation. I will definitely bring it up with my GP at my next appointment.

Hi hunni I also have bursitis in my hip so that's probably what's causing the pain in my shin then???? X

I get deep heat feeling in my shins and calves quite often. Not what you are describing but I do get something similar (somewhere between a graze and a deep ache and heat) going on in my elbows a lot just now too. I keep expecting it to turn into real RA pain but it hasn't yet. TTx

Yes, my elbows, thighs, and hips especially burn like a hot iron is being held to them.

I get a lot of neuropathy with my Sjogren's and RA. My shins seem to be the worst. It begins with a tingling, then burning, then full out "lightning bolt" pain. As long as I take my Neurotin regularly, I'm okay.

Thanks Tilda and urkdingright. I do wonder whether my problem is neuropathic as in Sjogrens or joint related as in arthritis. I have a clicky hip which locks sometimes, so it could be that. I will have to raise it with the doctor. He will be so pleased to see me again!! LOL
