Question: My calf muscles in both legs have spasms that come and go along with a XXXXXXX pain. I also may have pain in my quad muscles. It feels like I need to run...just run very hard and get the circulation going. Rubbing my legs feel good..it feels like I need to soak in hotwater which does help sometimes. I exercise at least 3-4 times a week of walking/short running/ and swimming. I started having these symtoms last Nov. and would often have numbness or burning in different areas of the body that moved around.(like toe, then head, face, DIP joint, Ear, arch of foot). It was constatnly on the move. Kind of like a burning sensation along with weakness. I did see a neuro and he said he felt like it was anxiety based on the evaluation he did and my description of symptoms. I was wondering about MS but he said No...(he himself has MS). My husband did leave for Afghanastan in XXXXXXX and he felt like it was all related to that. He started me on Lexapro in Dec and by the end of XXXXXXX I did feel better. I stopped that med back in Apri as I was gaining weight and I do not need that. I take a Beta Blocker (for sinus tach and PVCs) that keeps weight on. My symptoms are back and I am so very worried. I had my vit. D check last year and it was very low and so was my B12. These symptoms always start in my calf muscles (bilat) and move to quad. It always starts like that. I can go to bed and wake with calf muscles so tight I have to stretch...then it will leave once I get going and then it may hit again. It feels like I need to be pulled....just pull my arms and my legs like traction. I am so worried, my dr said it is sever anxiety and to take the meds. Please help me. This is a strange feeling. I was tested for Lupus last year when this hit and it was neg. I have had 2 MRIs of the brain...years ago when I had milder but similar symptoms and nothing not nothing had changed or showed and I was showing symptoms when I was having the MRI. (it was only of the brain.) The neuro says that I do not need to test any further....he said he lives with MS and knows that this is not MS no need for a spinal tap but for a 37 y.o. for is very active and tries to stick to a good diet something is wrong. Why would I have buring in an area of the body...it leave and it somewhere else totally different with spasms that come and go only in the quads and calf muscles???? Could I be dehydrated and not know it...I have had a complete hysterectomy and do not take hormones. Can u please help me>> is this MS?

I'm glad to hear this but you mentioned several other things could be going on...like what? I have had some eye pain but no vision trouble so I had my eyes checked and all looked fine except for severe dry eyes. Like this morning...I woke...stood and calf muscles tightened...and an hour later the left felt OK but the right was still pulling and my left bicep felt fatigued. This is strange. Do you think it could be deficiencies....or this beta blocker that I have been taking for 11 years? Whatever this is it comes and goes....it moves around the body...and at times its just painful. I may go all day and be fine then by Nite it hit me....or I wake w/ symptoms and have them on and off all day. Sometimes it feels like my calf muscles or quads have ran a Marathon and just are fatigued. I'm constantly standing on my toes doing a stretch or plantar flexing to stop the tingling / tight feeling. Any Med suggestions? What test should I have run? We did an entire blood work up last November and all OK. ( I was having symptoms then) Whatever is going on
is so bothersome.
