Aa
tingling buzzing sensation in hands and feet.
I'm a 35 year old male from the UK in otherwise good
health.
About 3 months ago I started having some weird symptoms/sensations.
Firstly, I noticed a slight tremor in my left thumb, it only lasted a few seconds and I put this down to fatigue, as I'd been working out with weights. For some weeks after this my left hand felt tired and shakey, but without any loss of strength or actually shaking.
I then started to experience intermitant sensations of what I can only describe as light numbness and pins and needles in both my hands and feet, but primarily on my left sided extremeties.I would also occassionaly get these sensations on a small area of my left thigh.These sensations regularly come and go, but last seconds rather than minutes/hours.
In recent weeks the light numbness seems to have subsided but I have noticed that I regularly wake up
during the night with either hand completely numb.This is rectified in seconds by wiggling my fingers, but the effected hand is left feeling weak for a couple of hours.I have also noticed a strange
buzzing sensation under my left foot, that I can only describe as if someone was holding vibrating mobile phone against it.
I have been to see my GP who seems to think stress or anxiety.Basic blood tests have come back normal.
I apologise for the length of this post, but I would
much appreciate any thoughts or advice as the where I go now.
1)does anybody know, statistically, how likely these
symptoms are to be caused by some serious disorder ie ms.
2)Does stress/anxiety seem a feesible cause.
3)These symptoms are very light and the worry of what they might be is causing much more of a problem than the actual sensations. With this in mind, do you think it might be better to just live with these things and see if they die down of their own accord.
Many thanks in advance.

I am a 32 year mother of 4 girls. I have been having muscle twitches and cramping in my legs mainly but also in my neck/throat muscles and arm muscles for 2 months. I also sometimes get arthritis type pain not every day but some days. When this all started I was really stressed and had a panic attack then after that one kept having them. Could panic and anxiety cause these problems and will they continue even though I am feeling not as anxious and have not had any panic attacks for about 3 weeks or so? I am so sorry for all the questions just really scared. I have not fallen or tripped over things but I do notice when I do alot the next day or after I am done my muscle become really tight and painful! Any suggestions? Thank you all.?
I to have had weird sensations since 2004 I had a mri, emg, spinal tap , and some kind of eye test ...All come back normal.. I also tried going to a chiropractor .but I have heaviness on top of my left foot..a cuff feeling on my left ankle and all kinds of sensations in my left hand that sometimes move up to my left neck and face. I have no clue what it is I gave up finding out ..people I ask seem to think its stress related.It can last all day or for min ..
Have any of you taken levaquin, cipro, avelox, or any other Fluroquinolone antibiotic in the past? These drugs cause all of the symptoms you are describing. They can start while you are on the medication or weeks or even months later. The symptoms wax and wane, and can last for years. Please look it up - you will find many sites and forums discussing the side effects of these drugs. Good Luck.
Hello Everybody! I'm new to posting here and this is my 1st post.
I been reading all the post and can relate to the buzzing feelings. This is worrying me greatly. My sensations are just as described by most of you! It feels like theres a cell phone on vibrate mode going off.
I actually had a really bad anxiety attack because I thought I was dying or having a stroke. My legs were going numb almost to the point that I could'nt walk. At the hospital they rushed me in and gave me an MRI which came back clear. My blood pressure was extremely high. The MRI came back negative for the possibility of a stroke I informed my caretaker that I was stressed out due to financial problems. I was given an ativan and around hour and half later I felt clear headed and normal, all the numbing sub-sided. I don't know if MS was considered when the doctors were viewing my MRI.
Diagnosis to my problem: Hyperventilation
Now that was the 1st time around --
The second time I started feeling these buzzing sensations was not like the time I went to the hosipital. What I experienced at the hospital was numbing.
Self diagnosis for myself after all I been reading is that don't rule any possibilities out of anything.
1. I am taking a self induced regimen of B-12
2. Moderate excercise to help improve blood flow
3. An ativan prescription to help control stress
I can't stand these buzzing sensations, they don't hurt but it's scary! I'll post back later to let you all know how it's going.
