Strange symptoms

I am a 20 year old female, pretty healthy.  I do not smoke or drink. For the past two weeks I have been experiencing really strange leg tingling symptoms.  It started one day when I was walking from school to my car and all of a sudden felt this twinge in my lower right leg as I continued to walk it spread through my lower right leg and then into my left.  It felt like there were tiny pop rocks crawling through my legs and then popping, or even like a static electric zapping.  I ended up barely making it to my car and for the rest of the evening and next day could barely walk because it was extremely painful.  After a few days the pain moved to my inner thighs and felt like the muscles were severely tight and about to rip from just standing or walking.  I also started getting tingling and pin-***** feeling throughout my entire body, even face.  My chest started having the same muscle tightness/ripping feeling.  My lips also were very tingly on and off.  My doctors have no idea what is wrong, I have seen a neurologist and all of my blood work comes out negative, and my MRI for my brain came out normal.  During the past couple weeks I also ran a low grade fever reaching 100.1 at the highest.  The fever is now gone, and the leg pain and tingling is lessening for now, but it is still really difficult to stand or walk at times.

Try Magnesium (i prefer the combo of Magnesium & Potassium Plus
Bromelain)     { You can find in most health food stores }
Magnesium plays vital roles in muscle, nerve and immune function

Potassium is an electrolytic mineral, or a mineral that helps conduct electricity through the body   Bromelain

Pineapples, which traditional healers in Central and South America have been using for centuries to treat indigestion and inflammation, contain protein-digesting, or proteolytic, enzymes...

I am a 27 year old female, when I was about 19 I started having all sorts of crazy symptoms my legs would tingle and burn and also at times they would give out in a way.. I also had sore thighs and arms. I would get a low grade fever and my face would get really red and really hot. I was tested until I was 23 and they never found anything, they kept telling me I was healthy (other then my Kidney Disease) well finally I went to a doctor who tested me physically not by a lab (bc they dont make a lab test for it) I was told I had Fibromyalgia... It was such a relief to have a name for it, they started me on Lyrica I take it before I go to bed and it last until the next night. I rarely have any of these symptoms anymore so talk to your doctor about Fibromyalgia and see what they say.. Hope this helps

might want to ask your doctor for a lumbar puncture  it can tell you more than any test of what may be going on

you might have pinched a nerve in your lower back and the more you move the more it gets irrated it could have been the way you moved to pick up your backpack or how you sat in your seat even if you twisted around to see something i did the same thing giving my son a bath it made my legs tingel as if they had fallen asleep then i blacked out when i woke up my husband had to pop my back and after that i was fine i would have them check out your nervous system good luck hun
