Hi, some months back I had nerve?muscel twitching in mainly below knee legs. The gp said it wouldnt kill me (ha ha) it was age and would have to put up with it. Needless to say I had to take over. Made sure food intake covered all minerals protein fats etc., Condition ok now thank goodness. Age indeed, he just couldnt be bothered. This worked for me , maybe you need more investigation. bye.
hi i have had the twitcing in my face feet uper arms and lags before but it seems to have got to my feet now it seems better when i stand on them but there is weird sensation still .see how it goes .will ask my doc about the food .thanx for reply
itchy legs capital YES!!!!! i honestly dont understand why it does it, but its in a strange way good to see so many others have it to it doesnt make me feel so odd.
I use eurax anti itch cream and aqueas cream and often i put large dressings over the broken parts of skin where i have been scratching so much so they can heal.
as for jumping veins not experienced that myself.
ty for reply i have been useing the aqueas cream helps a bit .will see how it goes seems to have calmed down a little thank god
Hi. I do get itchy legs (and arms!) I find keeping them well moisturised is the best way to deal with it and I put cream on every day.
But I wonder whether you're describing what I think of as 'restless legs', which I also get? I get an urge to move my legs and/or walk around and the sensation can get unbearable. Very weird, but if that's what you've been getting I haven't found anything that helps other than changing position or sometimes putting pressure on the leg that has the troublesome sensation.
I've asked my rheumatologist whether this is connected to the Raynaud's (I have scleroderma) and the answer has always been 'no', but I still wonder whether there is a link.
Yes I used moituriser. Could actually see the twitching of nerves or whatever it was. At least my husband (R.I.P) could then understand when I said legs twitching or jumping. Not troublesome at moment thankgoodness.
hi im glad you had your hubby to witness .sorry you no longer have him .i sat and watched mine for ages in the arches of my feet and toes .i get flare ups with this then it carms down have also had it in my face and upper arm be glad when its gone .ty for reply
hi my arms and legs both itch but more so the legs and feet..i feel its better when i stand and walk around .i think its raynauds connected feels like the blood is struggling to get through .try to see my gp this week she is very understanding .
Hi, I have itchy arms and legs and take anti allergy tablet to calm it down, this isn't prescribed by the way. Your jumpy feet could be caused by "St Vitus Dance", it is a series of jerky movements impulsed through the central nervous system. Your rheumatologist should be able to help you with this, not sure what the help is for it, but wishing you good luck.
ty for reply i was thinking simlar things myself .i have a friend with ms and thats the nervous system she get the same sensations as well
Hi,
Yes I have itchy legs, in the past it was due to varicose eczema. Now I get very itchy skin in the cold weather, my skin lets me know when there is a frost, even when I am indoors in the warmth. When I go out in the cold my skin prickles on my face and my neck itches.Years ago I was out walking in freezing fog, my neck started to itch, eventually my neck looked like it had been scalded and then the skin started to peel, I felt I needed to exfoliate due to the dryness? Was unbearable to go out in the cold until my skin had recovered. On visiting the doctors, she said she hadn't seen anything like it before. Regards Jax.
hi havent heard if the varicose ecsema before ,but sounds pretty awfull ,hope you can find something to help
So do i the pain in my toes are getting worse at night cant sleep !
Hi i have this problem with my veins twitching and ,awfull itching .Drives me nuts too ,i just rub E45 and masage afew times a day .Think its Phleabitis ,
Hi Suzierwp330 hope you are feeling ok. Yeah I get itchy legs and feet like spiders are crawling on me and I also get pins and needles not very pleasant but that is what we have to go through with these medical disabilities.
my friend brought me Deep Relief Ibuprofen and Levomenthol effective pain relief and reduces inflammation it is really really good I wish I knew about this ages ago it helps me with pain and itching and you can get it on prescription which is good.
