What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Legs?
Hi. I have MS and have had seizures before. I am not sure what I just had. I bent down and felt severe pins and needles in my legs, left side worse. I thought a seizure was coming so I sat down. Immediately my entire body cramped up. Severe pain, all I could do was scream. My left arm contorted along with my fingers and my legs cramped and locked. Lasted a minute or 2. Seizure or weird full body cramps?

Hello,
Yes, it could happen in patients with MS and it is called Lhermitte's sign. It happens when there is lesion in a spinal cord. I suggest you to consult your neurophysician to probe this matter as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
