hi there, I've started experiencing some very strange symptoms in my legs and (yes I have read the stickies) but am still quite concerned. It started with a cold feeling (but not to the touch) in my left foot along with some sharp/dull cramping pains and knee pain. From there, I experienced on/off shooting pains from my foot into my ankle, tingling on the foot, big toe pain/cramping and various dull pain blooms in my left leg (all over), - not sure how to describe them and am not sure if they're cramps or spasms or not. They come and go in a second or two. Have also had some sore spots that also come and go. Then, one day had a very sharp pain from my hip all the way down to my calf like a lightning bolt. Then, somehow woke up with a very sore 'strained abductor/groin muscle' in that same leg. Could barely lift my knee up very high. Put heat it on it and it's improved a bit though the spot is still really tender. Still having blooming pains in that leg (and pain in hip) and sometimes even experiencing them in the other leg as well (but much less, is it spreading?) my right thigh also feels quite stiff - Also seeing muscle twitches in my legs (some I can see, some I can only feel) and a gentle buzzing sensation in my left foot. My mouth also has been quite dry lately (unrelated?)
Any ideas? Really appreciate your thoughts and time. I have an appt with my pcp coming up who I assume will recommend a neurologist. There's certainly something neurological here at least.
