Cold knees and legs.. TMS?

Auri13 · Mar 15, 2025

Hi. Today I started feeling coldness in my legs while traveling by car. At first I felt it in my whole leg and feet, then I noticed it was mostly around my knees, and then I noticed the coldness went from the knees all the way up to my hips, as if it was following a ligament up there or something. I noticed it kept varying in intensity and it was worse outside since it's cold. I also noticed that I felt tension in some parts of my legs. Now I'm home covered with a blanket and it's ok. Can coldness in legs and knees be TMS? Has anyone felt this or something similar before?

Here's a recent thread posted by another user you may want to take a peek at: https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/thinning-skin-circulation-when-does-it-end.29346/ (Thinning skin? Circulation? When does it end)

It ends when you stop catastrophizing every little thing, and seeing yourself as a victim to TMS symptoms.

You have a mindset that these "ailments" are illnesses and ailments that are to be treated with physical intervention. You aren't seeing yourself as a totally well and fine human, and that the things causing your symptoms are ONLY from stress, your mindset, personality, how you think about yourself and how generate internal stress and how handle external stress. I can only imagine this creates a lot of anxiety.
ALL of this is a TMS brain, doing what TMS brains do - focus on the physical and resist the truth.

Since you are not finding the success you are hoping to find using the techniques of journaling and "stress reduction" (what do you do for this?) then perhaps you need to find another method that will help you deal with your anxiety, stress, mindset and the OCD type thinking that is making you catastrophize everything. Not having access to a doctor is tough when you want to rule out a true physical condition, but you are simply presenting with cold feet at night, that is all. Stop checking your body for every little possible thing that you think might be wrong. Begin to picture yourself as whole and healthy.

Why not try the Alan Gordon programme here on the Wiki and see if his methods can work better for you: https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/painrecovery/ (Pain Recovery Program)
