If this is the wrong spot to post this, I'm sorry. If it's been discussed, I'm sorry. I dug around a bit but couldn't find anything. Feel free to delete it, move it, etc. Just saying that because I know how moderators get when something gets posted when/where it shouldn't be. 
Now, on to the good stuff. Last summer, I began having a really weird sensation in my calf - only really noticed it when I was in bed, laying down. It felt like there was a knot in the center of the muscle that would occasionally twitch very lightly. The twitching stopped by sort of radiating out (bad description, but it's the best I can do). Always, though, it was deep in the muscle and very light. Sometimes my foot would tingle like it was going to to sleep, though I would never fully lose sensation during this. I didn't think much of it at the time because it was never a constant thing. It just kind of came and went.
A few weeks after all of this started, I woke up one morning and, while the knot feeling was still there, my calf was extremely stiff. It was uncomfortable to walk and it caused me to limp around since it was hard to properly flex it when I would step.
That prompted me to go to the doctor because I thought maybe I had a blood clot in my calf. Basically, the doctor fumbled around with my knee saying that sometimes a cyst will form in the back of the knee. He didn't feel anything and I felt like he dismissed everything. I was pretty annoyed by it, truthfully.
Fast forward a bit and my entire leg would just feel tired and "heavy." Eventually, my calf became extremely sore. It hurt just to touch it and stretch it out. Following that, my thigh muscles twitched as hard as I've ever experience for a good 30 seconds (may or not be related, I don't know). Again, none of this is a constant thing. I had another doctor appointment for something unrelated, and I mentioned to the doctor how sore my calf got. his response? "Hm. You probably just overdid it working out." I know for a fact that didn't happen, but I, again, got annoyed and didn't say anything else about it.
Everything went away and I forgot about it. But, last week, my hip became sore, the weird sensation in my calf is back and newly added is the feeling that I'm about to strain/pull my hamstring if I'm doing something. Also, my hamstring will sometimes feel like it's about to twitch, but never does - you know that kind of tickling feeling that accompanies muscles spams? Yeah, that's how my hamstring feels.
I've convinced myself that it's either sciatica or MS. I've made another appointment with a new doctor, but it's a littler over a week away. I guess I'm just seeing if anybody else has experienced this and what it might've led to. Basically, just trying to mentally prepare myself for anything and everything.
Again, sorry if this has all been covered or whatever.
