Hey there, me again, ok so i may be able to stop freaking about my many other symptoms that come and go, but the one thing I can never get sorted is my leg pain. I have had it for nearly 2 and a half years now and the pain comes and goes. It feels like a sort of aching and throbbing in the front of my right thigh, it will sometimes spread down to my calf and also make my foot tingle. Now i know it may be down to something like sciatica but even that scares me as it makes me wonder what is pressing against the nerve? Surely though if i had a tumour from a cancer pressing on it and it started over 2 years ago I would know I had cancer by now. I dont usually worry about me leg its just because i have been getting loads ofother symptoms now which i know should be connected to my anxiety. Please let me know if anyone has had similar and how long for and where your pain is? Thanks loads

Hi MVP.. I had similar start over 20 years ago. It was my right thigh also. Numbness and hot tingling. I didnt have HA then and saw the GP who said it was Sciatic nerve and I would probably have flare ups now and then.. That was 20 years ago and I have had flare ups over the years, sometimes lasts a day and other times off and on for weeks..

Hi Zee, did you ever find the cause for your sciatica? Its driving me nuts today, not painful just buzzing, throbbing, its very distracting :-(

In my case MVP, the irritation to sciatic nerve was something to do with my spine being very slightly misaligned.
