I've found this site really useful - hope you can help with these symptoms...
Since last summer I've had various sensations in my leg. It started off feeling as if I was trembling from my knee to my ankle (but you couldn't see anything moving) and sometimes my leg would feel as it it was cold (but it wasn't!). This would last 4 or 5 days then would disappear for a couple of weeks then come back. I went to see my GP who examined my leg and sent me for blood tests (thyroid, B12, folic acid, iron) - nothing was wrong! Then, just before xmas I started getting stinging feelings all over my leg and also occaisional small white patches (sometimes with a blue vein in the middle). These patches would sting at first then some would fade away, some are still there. I went back to the doctor who noted my new symptoms but wouldn't examine my leg again as it'd been done previously. Now my leg stings and aches all over - and it's made me very anxious. Just last week I went back to my GP - who told me it was all due to anxiety. I don't know what to think: do I accept this or is it because I'm prone to anxiety that makes it easy for the doctor say my problem's due to this.... :confused:
