My Leg Feels Like It Is Shaking

[Johnny Utah]

  Anyone. Last night at work, for more than 8 hours my left thigh felt like it was shaking or trebling. I had to touch it several times to see if I could actually feel it. I couldn't. There was something going on inside the leg creating a feeling of shakiness but it was not moving or twitching at all. I've only had issues with pain and numbness on my right side, I have never had a single symptom on my left side although my left hand is starting to feel like the one on the right side. It feels tight and the joints seem painful.

  Anyone have any thoughts on why the shaky feeling? I search my handbook this morning for two hours, looked at tremors but thought that it wasn't even close to what I was feeling. I might have just been over tired but I have never had a feeling like that before.

  I'm sure someone here has had a similar feeling even if its not an MS related issue. Thoughts anyone?

  BTW, 72 degrees today in Maine, this is what Fall is all about.

Hi, i'm 14 years old and this exact same thing is happening to my left leg too. I get this weird jiggling feeling right beside my left knee and I can't seem to figure out what it is.

Hey - I can join the rockers and shakers too.  I went to visit my gramps in the hospital yesterday and felt like my whole body was shaking uncontrollably. At first I thought it was just the nerves of seeing my gramps with all the darn tubes running in and out of him (poor guy), but I've had this before. A lot of times it's only in my L arm, but have woken to a "whole body" shake down before. It was like I was shivering from a fever, but I took my temp and no fever. I also get the buzzing and the "internal" shaking. I just keep hoping no one can see it!!!

I used to have a buzzing sensation in my chin and the tip of my nose.  I thought that was annoying until the cold sensations started last month in the same spot, plus the corner of my right eye - now THAT's annoying!

Ok Ok I know this is an old thread but I fely compelled to answer, especially as this is my soap box topic - which led me to have an arthroscopy - which has made things worse so far - but that's another story.

When I had what we now know was a major relapse last September and the medics told me I had 'overuse injury' (that's a laugh with my fitness level) - I tried so very hard to describe this feeling to them as both my legs, although the left was worse than the right, felt as though they were vibrating all the way down although you could not see it. They also felt like the knees were spongey, again the left leg worse and that they could not hold me up at all. I spent 9 weeks unable to walk properly because of it except a sort of weird shuffle for a few steps.

I ended up at ortho and then at neuro and the rest is history as they say. The only good thing for me was that when I finally got to tell the neuro he immediately recognised the sx - I could have hugged him as this was 9 months later!!!

Well, but for the date, the opening post for this thread could have been written by me, except mine's in the right thigh.  Specifically, the upper front of the right thigh.  Odd.  Has lasted as long as two or three minutes, and has happened many times a day or only once every few, with everything in between.  Vibrating like a cell phone, or maybe I could say it feels like a steady stream of bubbles passing through an opening in some internal conduit.  Taking note.  Must begin a new "Dear neuro, here's the whole story" letter soon, in preparation for my next appointment.  That's in about six weeks.

I've had this sensation before, in different locations, but not so persistently in the one spot.  Just wait until you feel it in your eyelids; it's creepy.
