A strange symptom of Stress and Anxiety. Where does it come from?
"I have developed a kind of paralysis of the upper thighs area around the crotch area. Muscle strain and the muscles seem to be devoid of blood flow and are constricted. My legs feel very heavy and I am also feeling impotent and cannot achieve an erection. I am taking medication for depression and anxiety but the cause and effect seems extreme. What is happening to me??" Has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it?
Did you recently start the medication? This could be a side effect if so. If you truly feel your legs are functioning less well, you're not moving as well, and you've become impotent, have you considered seeing your doctor?
Your muscles are not devoid of blood flow or you would have a serious problem that would need medical attention.
You might want to ask your doctor about this feeling you have, but it could be just in your imagination so try to relax for a while and see if it goes away.
