What's this? l know you aren't doctors but I was wondering if anyone else ever experienced this. Like my legs, are bothering me. I feel like little bugs or something are crawling on them, but when I look, there's absolutely nothing there. It's very annoying, and irritating, because I keep expecting something to be there but there's nothing. I started noticing this over the weekend so it's not like its been happening forever. But I am wondering if something could be wrong with my legs... That freaks me out, and I guess if I keep feeling like this i'll go to the Dr. I just don't want them to think i'm weird or having some psychological problem. Anyone have this feeling before?

I have felt the same thing, especially when at the computer, and sometimes lying in bed. To the point where I am swatting my legs thinking little flies are landing on them. Of course, nothing is there. I am thinking its either: static causing my leg hairs to move, some kind of circulation problem, or dry skin or some other dermatology type of thing..

RLS. Restless Leg Syndrome. Feels like bugs are crawling inside of ur legs. It can be relieved by moving ur legs or walking, but symptoms return when u stop. It is often worse at night and early evening. There is medication, but u need to go to a dr.

It's called restless leg syndrome. You can talk to your doctor about treatment. I'm not sure what the name of the medication is, that will help. Sometimes your legs feel like they're jumping, pins pricking you or bugs crawling on you. I have trouble sitting still but when I do my legs do the same thing. I haven't seen a doctor for it.

Sounds like Restless Leg Syndrome also. I agree with the diabetic neuropathy as well. You need to call your MD and make an appointment. This isn't something that you should put off or ignore.

THIS IS CALLED RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME. Weird, but normal. Many people have this condition, so contact your doctor, there are medicines for this. If walking around gives you temporary relief, it is definetly RLS. Normal.

Diabetic neuropathy. Have your blood sugars checked by a doctor.
Low calcium intake - again check with a doctor.
Too much exercise.
