legs are constantly cold with chill bumps

For the last couple of weeks my legs are always cold with chill bumps even when it's 75 degrees in my house.  Sometimes they ache for hours.  The only way to get any relief at night is to wrap them with a heating pad when I go to sleep.  It's a miserable feeling and I have no energy, I'm tired all the time.  I'm only 35 years old, what in the world could be wrong with me?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Cold legs can happen due to peripheral vascular disease or disorder of the circulatory system outside of the brain and heart. Other causes of cold extremities are hypothyroidism, eating disorders like anorexia, Vit B12 deficiency, Addison’s disease, adrenal causes like pheochromocytoma, anemia, Buerger’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and Raynaud’s disease. You will need some tests like treadmill test, color Doppler, angiography, ultrasonography and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
The best thing would be to consult a general practitioner or PCP and try and assess what is the cause of your problem. Then proper referral for concerned specialist can take things further and get you proper treatment. Take care!
