My Thumb

[Woody4]

Has anyone ever had their RLS pin point a specific location?? Last night my thumb, the meaty part at the base, went nuts. It was the strangest feeling and it had to be moved. It wasn't a pain or feeling I could just endure. It lasted for quite sometime.

Yes arch of my left foot frequently x

Yep- base of my big toe. Starts with a stabbing pain as though someone is stabbing me with a very sharp needle and then the RLS in my leg will kick off within 10/15 minutes. It's like an alarm clock to wake up the creepy crawly RLS feelings in my leg. Weird.

I get all sorts of momentary stabbing pains, more prolonged buzzings, cold water sensations, sensations of wetness apparently quite random and in various places.

I've never associated them with RLS, but I think they could be. I know they are due to nerve cells firing inappropriately so RLS could explain it.

Thanks to those who took my post seriously. I know it sounded like someone trying to be a smarta_ _ but it was real. The only comfort I got was just like when the RLS was in my arms or legs, moving my hand.

Just the same meds I take for the RLS.
