Suggest Remedy For Tingling Sensation In Legs

Goodmorning doctor,i am a 27 year old male, 5 8 and 69 kgs. i have a major problem of tingling sensations in my legs and have started in arms lately. when i keep my legs stationary or at one position for long it feels as if i have ants moving inside my limbs and if i move it disappears . Its more in my right arm. also sometimes i can feel my pulse on my right shoulder and its visible even with my clothes on..tho it has happened on rare occasions. I keep having vitamin B12 tablet sometimes to avoid this but i am not regular with it and i don t think it has helped..the sensations are severe in the legs when i keep my leg one over the other.. plz help.off late this has invaded my right arm also

Hi,

Tingling sensations in the limbs especially when you cross the legs do not usually indicate a serious problem. If you been having this for a year and its persisting then you need to investigate. Do you have and loss of sensations in the limbs or altered sensation? A medical exam will examine the nerves and blood circulation. Need to check for mineral and vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems along with other routine blood tests.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
