Have you asked the doctor if she might be having reflux? If so, there are medications which can help and will reduce the burning she would be feeling which could lead to the fussiness, the colics, etc. Sonoran, my parents used to do the leg thing with me too, even when I was a toddler.
Seriously, though, ask about reflux...
I go into the doctor tomorrow morning. I am going to be flooding her with questions.
It might also be allergies, which I personally have alot of too. I noticed that even switching laundry detergents one time had her all covered in little red bumps. My mom made her this really cute crocheted wool sweater too and that had the same reaction. Maybe an allergic reaction to something else..... All I can think of is that I normally do barn chores about 5-6 pm lately. I take my coat off and wash up but don't always get a shower in before getting her the next bottle. Maybe some sort of dander causes that fussy time too.
Did you nurse at all? A lot of babies are very sensitive to formula ingredients, and you may need to switch, or try to reestablish your milk (no, it's probably not too late). Maybe try some of the "Free and Clear" laundry formulas. Liquid softener is less likely to cause a reaction than are dryer sheets.
