leg pain under skin like a sheet?

Question

while sleeping, I get woken from pain like electricity that's under the skin as if a sheet is drug and laying on my legs. It started in only my thighs now goes down to underneath my feet. I have no desire to move my legs. Anyone else with this? My doctor didn't think it was anything - help!?!

Answer 1

Have you recently stopped any medications? If so, you may be experiencing some type of withdrawl.

I know that you mentioned that you do not feel an urge to move your legs, but did your doctor consider Restless Leg Syndrome? It is well worth considering, because many people experience pain with RLS. I have cut and pasted some info for you. Hope it helps.
