Tingling in legs

*edit*

I have had restless legs before and this is not it! It's like the sensation of pins and needles without the pain!

I have been awake half the night unable to sleep because my left thigh has been tingling all night. I'm not talking about it being numb or cramping, it feels like I need to scratch it to take the tingling away but that doesn't work. the second I stand up it goes away. I cannot sleep on either side because the tingling doesn't go away! I have no idea what this is but it's impossible to sleep because of it. please tell me someone else has experienced this and I'm not the only one over here frustrated and sleepless with a stupid tingling thigh....
