Could you have restless leg syndrome or diabetes? Both have those symptoms.

Thanks for the response. I don't have diabetes and I'm pretty sure I don't have restless leg syndrome, but since being diagnosed with FactorV I'm always been cautious about anything weird going on with my legs. Anyway, thanks for the reply ^_^

The pins and needles is a big part of a blood circlation problem. You may have a blood clot in your leg. Need a blood thinner like aspirin. Start with little doses. If that doesn't work take a little more. Don't take more than what the bottle recommends. Along with that walks every day for 20 minutes. Increase only if you desire. The walk will get the circulation going. Along with that drink a lot of water. Make sure you look up a good factor V diet on the internet. I have FVL. I been getting better doing these things. Hope this works out for you. More questions can be answered on the online Mayo Clinic. That is where they found my factor V.
