Hi All,

I'm still suffering from ALS anxiety at the moment and today I had another strange feeling in my thigh.
I've had cramps before in my feet (very painful).
But with this my thigh seemed to go very tight and mildy painful but I could still walk. Is this a Spasm? If so what is the difference.

Also can anxiety bring on cramps as well as tightness.

Please comment back, it will be gratefully appreciated.

Holding yourself tense will bring cramps, being anxious= tense, you also notice every little change or feeling in your body. I do anyway. :hugs:

I deal with the same symptoms. Doc wanted to put me back on medication but I said I would give CBT another try. It's easy to twitch and cramps when you don't even realize you're body is constantly tensed and never really relaxed.
