I've had problematic symptoms recently- I have already seen the doctor about it who did a blood test (which was fine) so he reassured me that nothing is wrong and said its likely just anxiety causing it. I'm sure he's correct but it's disrupting my life and I thought I would ask here in case any posters had any advice for how I can make it stop.
I've been getting strange sensations in my limbs on one side of my body.
Initially I thought I had injured my leg as I was getting tingling in my foot and calf (pins and needles) and numbness in my lower leg (as if I had been sitting on it). It comes and comes and usually lasts for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Its only ever in one leg. I've had on and off knee pain on the same side too but there's been no swelling or bruising.
I assumed I had injured my leg, however the same problem has started in my arm now too (on the same side). This is when I went to the doctor around 1 month ago.
It hasn't just started today but just as an example, today when I was in the car (as a passenger) my arm suddenly felt really off, it was tingly but also numb. It felt like I had hit my funny bone but it happened completely out of the blue but it was really uncomfortable. It went away after half an hour however I can feel it starting again now- its like a numb ache around my elbow and going up my upper arm. It feels achey but also numb and tingling.
My doctor didnt have any advice other than its anxiety causing it, but I dont feel anxious so I dont know how to control it IYSIM. I've seen a physio too who said he couldn't see any injuries or obvious problems.
Really hope someone has some advice on how I could improve this x
