it is scary all you are feeling,i have always had the pins and needles and the pain in my leg when i ignores it it goes away but when i stress about it igoes through hell,its horrible,i agree until you have had all the tests done your mind will play tricks on you and convince you that this is something worse,but in actual fact its all body and muscle tension where you are stressing.

no just regular md's it just worrys me that this pain and weird feelings happens everyday from the time i get up till i can fall asleep,i go to my doctor this tuesday. the first 2 said the see no need for further testing that there p.h.d in anatomy was good enough. i need a refural from my doctor to see a neurologist so im going to talk to him when i go about getting more things check......like when i went 3 weeks ago they did a breathing test cause i felt like sometime i couldnt breath and it was clear so now when i feel like that it dont worry me. so i just want that peace of mind. it worrys me how hard it is to get good care that people look at you like your crazy.my second doc who stressed the p.h.d in anatomy said i was borderline of being a hypochondriac.cause nothing added up with anything physicaly wrong with me but when you research symptoms its scarry to see that the symptoms of anxiety mimic so many other things

Were any of the doctors you've seen been a neurologist or psychiatrist?
Your symptoms sound like they can be anxiety/depression but you should rule out other possibilities, such as neurological problems.   Psychiatrists are neurologists as well and they can be the best to consult at this time however they won't administer EMG's or Nerve Conduction Tests, etc..that a neurologist will.
Fighting anxiety can take time and won't resolve overnight.  Find a good psychiatrist and stick with him until you find relief for your symptoms.  Many people fiind talk therapy beneficial as well.   Going from doctor to doctor is not the answer and will only drag out the time it takes to get the relief you seek.  Let the psychiatrist tell you if a neurologist consult is called for.
