Pains and 'burning' and tingling sensations in limbs

Hullo, I have suffered with 'restless legs' intermittently (usually if stressed)at night for many years but just recently it has been every night. For about ten days I have also experienced shooting pains in my toes, feet, fingers, wrists, elbow and shoulder (primarily left side)in bed at night. Not agonising pain but enough to wake me and keep me awake, most unpleasant. The character of the pain is quite different to anything I have ever experienced before. I describe it as a 'shooting' pain as that is the nearest I can think of to a description. However, I also experience a lot of tingling and last night my feet felt hot.

A few months ago I had a spate of urinary incontinence which frightened me. I started doing pelvic floor exercises and that seems to have done the trick. It was usually getting up in the night and not quite making it to the toilet but on one occasion I was out and wet myself spontaneously with no warning. I hadn't even been aware that I wanted to 'go'. That was a one off, thankfully (& I was wearing dark trousers so no-one saw anything!).

I am 56 years old. I have suffered from a depressive illness for more than five years which has changed my lifestyle considerably. Prior to the illness I was very active, fit and slim. Now I am inactive and quite fat. However, I am not on any medication (I was tried on various medications until about a year ago)or treatment for my depression because I improved considerably and, though not quite better, I am far better than I was a couple of years ago.

The only medicine I take is a codeine and paracetamol over the counter medication for pain control - though in all honesty I take it to help me sleep. I take some vitamin and mineral supplements.

i DO not drink alcohol but I do smoke - very little. I roll my own cigarettes and consume 25gm in five days, using filter tips.

My diet is not wonderful but I try to eat a reasonable amount of veg and only lean meat. I don't have excessive thirst, even in the recent very hot weather I had to make myself drink a lot of water.

Not a lot in my medical history. Usual childhood illnesses and eczema. I have had flare ups of eczema in adulthood but not severe.

Used to get quite a lot of colds/'flu/chest infections. Since I stopped working five years ago I don't think I have had one.

TMJ syndrome which ten years ago was debilitating but does not bother me very often now.

Tension headaches/migraine but I rarely suffer now I am past menopause. Not on HRT. Most recent mammogram and smear tests normal.

Hair and skin good. Teeth and gums a bit ropey but I take care of them and visit the dentist and hygienist regularly.

One child, grown up. Normal pregnancy and birth.

No family history of note that I know of.

Thank you.
