What Causes Odd Sensations In The Leg With Anxiety Problem?
For about a week now I have been having odd sensations in my left leg, just in my ankle and slightly above it. The only way I can describe it is like a rumbling sensation. Its not painful in any way, just annoying. I am due to go on an aeroplane in about 4 weeks and was a bit worried it may make it worse. I have anxiety problems but other than that am quite healthy. I am 37 years old and on no medication. Hope you can help.

Hi,
This can happen generally in vitamin B12 deficiency or spinal disc disease. As a first step get your Vitamin B12 levels and if it is low -take supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
