Weird feeling in my legs

[aka pixi]

I keep getting a weird feeling in my legs, mainly in my calves but it does the same in my thigh and occasionally other parts of my body. I can only describe it as a strange bubbling sensation in an area about the size of a 10p piece. It doesnt hurt at all it just feels strange.

My mate suggested varicose veins but I dont have any at all.

I have fibromyalgia and hypermobility syndrome but Im sure its nothing to do with this cos Ive had those for years and the weird feeling has only been happening on and off for a couple of years or so.


Has anyone any idea what it may be? I don't really wanna go to the doctors with this as Im sure its just something stupid lol

Better to get it checked out as only a Doctor would be able to give you sensible and accurate advice. Good luck

thanks bluwave, I know I ought to go to the docs but it seems such a silly thing to go with :(

[blu3wave]

Is there anything else you need to get checked out? You could use that as a basis of your visit then ask about this problem towards the end of your visit....

good idea blu, I never though of that, I very rarely go to the doctors but will try to remember about it next time I do go. Ta for that :)

hi pixi - don't worry I get that too....unless we should both be worried... lol...it wouldn't hurt to mention it next time you see the doc though.

In my experience this bloomin 'algia' throws in a new ingredient every few months. Last year I developed 'ankle strap pain' it was awful, just like someone had tied a rope around each one & was pulling it tighter & tighter...or was that my fantasy? :o)

I've just found out that we've got a new support group in this area - at last I can have a good grumble to somebody who won't say 'shurrup whinging!'

....or will they? :o)

take care x

woo hooo hello robinia :) Its a weird feeling innit? Aww the ankle strap pain sounds awful,(pmsl at it maybe being ya fantasy lol) I get similar in my knees and hips, its like someone has them in a vice and is tightening it up :( :(

Its great news about the support group :) LOL at you getting told to shurrup whinging, I normally get told to snap outta it (though its always said in fun lol)

Have a lovely weekend and take care xxx

Thanks for the link pcwork :) That was really interesting, the symptoms mentioned are also some of the symptoms of fibro.
