Pins And Needle Feeling And Pain In Legs,feet,stomach,weakness,losing Balance,blurry Vision,tired,pains In Hip,degenerative Knees

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I have been experiencing strange things. I get pins and needles in my legs, feet and stomach as well as pain with this. My lega go weak and I keep loosing my balance. Last week I lost feeling in my right foot upto my ankle which lasted a few hours. I have also started to recently get blurry vision . I am always tired in the afternoon, even just walking my dogs my legs ache and I end up falling asleep when I get home. I have pains also in my hips. I have been diagnosed weigh degenartive knees last year but feel these other symptoms are not related to that. I am a 26 year old female and use to be very active until all this became too much. I hope you can help. Thank you, Kayleigh Rowland

General & Family Physician 's  Response
From your description you might want to get your Thyroid status checked that is T3,T4,TSH with your electrolytes.Usually the symptoms that you mentioned are associated with a low level of thyroxine (hypothyroidism).The thyroid hormone is one of your main metabolic hormones and a decrease below normal will cause you to feel dizzy and feel lethargic.If your thyroid status is normal I suggest getting a neurological evaluation done
