hi there, my name is irene, over the last 2 weeks i've been have needles and pins in both legs (knee to ankle), i have'nt been to my GP as yet because i'm not sure if it's something to worry about or not, thats why i'm here.The feeling is there all day and worse at night, i'm hardly sleeping as it wakes me up, legs are'nt swollen or anything,but it's so annoying and getting me down slightly, Any idea's?,sorry to bother you as i'm sure your busy enough,but wanted to stop by and ask all the same. Thankyou for reading this and look forward to hearing from you

I believe that it has to do with low blood pressure...It may be that circulation is bad in your legs...I know years ago they started me on a baby aspirin daily and you may want to consider this...However, definitely call your doctor to approve this before you start it...Many people have a problem with hands or legs falling asleep...Not to worry as it isn't serious....

Take care,
Caaroline
