Should I go to the Dr's

Original post by cbcf

Since Monday I have been getting this really weird feeling in my legs and now in my arms and wrists. It first started on my left leg then Tuesday was my right leg. Then yesterday was my wrist and today is my right arm (near the elbow-but on the inside). It is a weird feeling- doesnt feel like it is asleep...kinda feels like it is slightly burning. It doesn't hurt just more annoying. And I feel like wherever the pain is that body part feels so restless....it is soo weird. I told my mom she said to go to the doctor. But I hate the doctors. I know I prob should but I need re-inforcements!!

But anyway...anyone ever get these weird feelings. I mean it is soo weird I can't explain it. I was about to call the Doctor but then thought to myself do I say I need an appt because of this feeling or should I ask to talk to the doctor himself? IDK

and it is kinda worrying me. But I am one of those people who think I am going to die with any wrong feeling in my body. I could have a head ache and think I am having an anyrsum. I know I overreact. But I can't help but feeling I am having blot clots all over me or somethign?? UGHH CALM ME DOWN PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Nurse here....there are a few things it can be, but without going into detail, it can be something minor like an electrolyte imbalance. When you are lacking certain minerals either from diet, dehydration, sickness, etc, you can experience parasthesias (pins and needle feelings) or muscle twitching, etc. It could be other things....I suggest going to your doctor. There is no point in calling to 'talk to him' because if he is a good doctor, he will want to examine you in his office. It's not good practice to address something over the phone. I don't think you are dying, but it should be addressed by your doctor. Good luck! Keep us posted, and feel better!

Catie, I would go to the dr. At the very least it will calm you down :) At best he could find something and help to fix it ASAP. CALL HIM! Maybe you could talk to him first before making an appt - tell the girls up front that you want to talk to him because you don't know if it's necessary for you to come in, etc.

Good luck!



that is true..i just feel silly talking to the doctor. i dont even know how to explain the feeling i am getting. should i just explain it as i explained to you guys??

cause it doesnt feel like pins and needles really it is weird.



You're not being silly!!! Now, go to the Dr. ....Please!! Mary MOB
