Leg twitches and arm tingling

I was sleeved on May 21st. In the evening I have been getting a slight numb tingling feeling in my legs and arms. This gets more intense once I get to bed. My limbs feel like they are all twisted up and ready to pop. The only relief is to get out of bed and walk around and stretch. I'm not sure if this is related to my surgery. Anyone else get this after surgery?

Honestly, it really sounds like something you should talk to your MD about. It might be diet related, which is affected by surgery.. but still, I don't think what you describe is a common post-op symptom.

That sounds like maybe something nerve related (which could be B12 related), so yeah, you should see someone as soon as you can! Even if it's just a pinched nerve or something, you want to know!

This sounds like Restless Leg Syndrome, my Mom has the same symptoms. Call your PCP and make an appointment.

Vitamin deficiency. Sounds like you need more B12.

I take a B12 supplement each day in addition to two multivitamins. I best make that appointment with my PCP. Tired of sleepless nights......zzzzzzz.
