Leg pain, anxiety, twitching

It all started with pain, numbness and tingling in my right ankle.  Then, my whole family came down with a "virus" around Christmas.  My whole body ached, but i got through it.  My right leg began having lots of muscle twitching and strange sensations.  It's been four long months and I am still having them and noticing some atrophy in the leg now as well!  I get occassional twitching in other leg and around my body, but mainly the right let and still have the weak ankle feeling.  I am trying to get in to see a neuro.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be?

It sounds like it might be sciatica. Definitely you are on the right track in seeing a neurologist. Pinched nerves in the back can also do something like this.
