So I’ve been having this issue for almost a month now and it hasn’t gone away. My right calf feels tight and sometimes a burning sensation. Nothing feels hot to touch or swelling and my foot feels like it’s swollen but it’s not. Tingling sensations, it also feels like I put cream on my feet and then socks... I know it sounds weird but it’s the only way I can explain it. I had a massage yesterday and it was painful on my leg. She said my muscles were very tight and had lots of tension. Anyone… read more

Members connected over experiencing strange, persistent leg and foot sensations that mirror fibromyalgia symptoms, including burning, tightness, tingling, phantom wetness, and sharp pin-like pains that can last for weeks or months. Several members shared strategies that have brought them relief, such as adjusting medication dosages and timing, trying Requip for restless legs, massage therapy to release muscle tension, and researching conditions like myofascial syndrome and paresthesia. A recurring theme was that fibromyalgia-related nerve sensations are unpredictable and highly individual, so finding what works often requires patience, experimentation, and the understanding that even successful remedies may only provide temporary relief.

Yes, and I've had this exact same thing for years. My doctor calls is parathesia, which is a symptom of the fibromyalgia. What works for some, does not work for others so you basically have to try different things until you find something that works for you....and even then, keep in mind that relief may only be temporary.

I have tightness throughout my body. I get burning sensations also. I'm going for my massage today and expect it to be painful, but hopefully after it releases the tension in my muscles. Have you read about myofacial syndrome? A lot if people have it who have fibromyalgia.

i get the wet feeling sometimes on my upper legs. I check to see if I spilled something, and I'm not wet at all

Suzette, I had something very similar.

Two changes helped: 1) My new health care provider changed the dosage and when I was taking it. 2) She gave me Requip. It took a bit to discover the correct dosage. At one point, after things were better, they went south again. She increased the dosage again. I don't have restless or painful legs any longer.

Don't know if that will help. Hope something works soonest!

Could be Neuropathy ?
