I have been to see my doctor today regarding my muscle twitch (left calf) and pins and needles in my left foot.
I told him that my calf muscle twitches and my left foot appears to have pins and needles, been like it for 3-4 days.
My doctor checked my leg by testing the reflexes, pressed the muscles in and touched both sides of my leg to see if feelings were there.
He told me it could be a trapped nerve / anxiety and the tingles could be anxiety related as the muscles appear ok.
He said it should settle down after a few weeks and the tingles could get worse if I concentrate on the problem.
He then told me, at this moment of time no tests are required as it does not look like a stroke or MS.
[uI have come away not convinced (what a surprise).[/u]
* my left and right foot tingle
* my arms and hands have started to tingle and ache
(it kind of rotates, the foot can appear better then it will come back again or the arm feels better then it could come back again).
I have never experianced this before and it's very worring.
Does anybody have any advice on this and can the tingles and aches last for a period of time through thorugh anxiety?
I'm worried it's MS, it carnt come that quick could it?
