    I never had a hot tingly feeling. You might want to contact your doctor and let them know. He/She will be a better judge of the symptoms. Congratulations on your surgery

    I had that while pregnant. My bp was low and when it was making big drops in my pressure I constantly felt that sensation. I'm not sure if that's what's going on but maybe monitor you BP I hope you

I have restless leg so my legs are always tingling, so far I have felt fine. I got home on the 22nd and had my surgery on the 19th

Eeew no....I have not heard of this. I thought I'd read about almost everything on here. Have you called your docs office yet? I would be concerned of blood clots, but I don't know the symptoms for that....

It only occurs at night time when I'm laying down. I think I'll def call my Dr. tomorrow. I hope it isn't something bad. My biggest fear is blood clots.

I found this: (of course there is more out there, but i thought this would be a start....)

Signs and Symptoms of Blood Clots

Unfortunately the symptoms are sometimes mild, and easily confused with other conditions. If you have a blood clot in your leg (DVT) you may notice:

  • New swelling in your arm or leg.
  • Skin redness.
  • Soreness or pain in your arm or leg.
  • A warm spot on your leg.

I dont think its a blot clot, but check with your doctor in the morning.

I'm having this- and I take mega amounts of b12 and b complex- I'm seeing my Dr on Tuedsay. It's gone on for two weeks- and it's so irritating - it was only in my upper thighs- now moved down to my calves and feet- and my left arm while we were on vacation in Maui last week.

If you've ever been outside too long in freezing weather- and your skin starts to tingle and go numb on the surface..... That's what mine feels like.

Can anyone else weigh in on this topic- I am faithful about my vitamins- never have skipped- excersize twice a day- and have lost 75 lbs since May 15.

At first I thought it was just my skin adjusting to the rapid loss..... But now I am a little scared

And this tingling is 24/7 not just at certain times.

I hope you get better soon!!!

Also if you can' date=' check your blood sugar...

Could be low[/quote']

Okay I will check both tomorrow- and all Vitamin levels on Tuesday with my doc.

Thank you :)

I was getting that feeling 24/7 as well. I get it now sometimes too. Are you drinking a lot of Water? Intaking enough Protein? When I told my doctor about it she said if you see your leg getting swollen then you should worry bc those are signs of blood clotting. Other than that she said those side effects were normal.

Good luck with your doctor appt. I am sure it isn't anything bad.

Thank you for the info. That's a bit of a relief :)

No- I don't think I have ever gotten "enough" water or protien. I have massive restriction- hell I barely get 3-400 calories in a day. And I feel like I'm constantly eating to get just that in.

I am faithful about my Vitamins, exersize, and the types of food I do eat, I never anything bad for me. Haven't since well before surgery.

The only swelling I had was very mild- and was only from a 5 hour plane ride, to and from Hawaii. But that was nothing compared to how I used to be when I was 75 lbs heavier.

Thank you again for the reassurance. :)

I have RLS (restless leg syndrome). I mainly feel it at night when I am laying down. It is the same as what you are describing. It just drives me crazy. I have to get up and walk around or lay on the floor. My doctor old me to get a massager that vibrates to add stimulation to my legs for the blood flow. It helps a little. He offered to give me medicine for the symptoms, but I can't take it till I am no longer nursing. I hope your doctor finds the answer for you. Good luck.
