What Do Spontaneous Sensations In The Ankles Indicate?

The last week or so, I have been experiencing spontaneous sensations in the front of my ankle that I can only describe as a spider web on the skin sensation. It last but a second or two. I am overweight but not obese, I do take hctz for minor blood pressure issues. I have had diagnosed fibro for the last 8 years which I do not take meds for, other than ibuprofen when I have severe attacks of joint pain. I have not taken any ibu for weeks. Any idea? I m just wondering if this is a precursor or if it is a fluke sensation.

Hi,

It could be an early onset of peripheral neuropathy so you should get iron and vitamin B12 levels checked. You can meanwhile start Pregabalin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
