Hot Water Feeling Down Leg Posted: 06-13-06 09:15am
Hey, I have a question. For the past
week, my right leg has this hot water
feeling down the leg. It has only
happened twice, like all day. Does
anybody know what this is?? Its not my
whole leg, just little part

Very possible that you could have
something pressing on your l4/l5 nerve
root. (siatica) you might want to go to
your doc and see if he/she can give you
some anti-inflamitories and maybe muscle
relaxers/pain meds.
Waiting for this to subside is not the
right thing to do, you don't know what is
causing this and it would be a good idea
to find out.
Good luck,
brian

Is it possible that I could have slept on
it wrong?? And what could be pressing on
that?

When it comes to pain, there does not need
to be an explaination. It just is and
that is reason enough.
Your anatomy is changing all the time and
if something shifted within the spinal
column you may not know it for a long time
and then whamo you are in pain and
searching for an explaination.
Your best bet is to schedule an
appointment with your primary care doc and
get some diagnostic radiology done.
Nothing may show up but that will not take
away the fact that you have pain. If
there is nothing on the x-rays, ask for a
referal to an orthopedic surgeon and see
if they can fnd something and begin a
treatment regimine.
Good luck,
brian

I guess bascially it would be best for you
to go to your doc. I cannot tell what is
going on but I do know that the lumbar
nerve roots at l5/s1 and l4/l5 have alot
to do with pain in the buttocks and legs.
Of course I am not a doc and cannot even
pretend to have all of the answers and in
your case it sounds like I may not even be
on the right road to helping you figure
this out.
Good luck and keep us posted as to how you
do,
brian :)

I've been trying to find a way to say
exactly how it feels, and the best that I
can come up with.... It feels like you
just put icy hot on your leg. No cold
feeling, just the hot, it comes and goes.

It sounds to me like it could be
pain/hotness generated by pressure being
placed on the siatic nerve root. That or
there may be a nerve in your leg that has
been agitated.
Only your doc can help you to deal with
this issue. They may tell you to take
some alieve or motrin and get some rest to
see if it will help. Then again, they may
want some diagnostic radiology to see if
there is a bone/muscle issue that needs
further treatment.
My best guess is they will give you a
prescription for physical therapy and tell
you to take some otc medicine.
You wont get any answers though until you
go see your doc. ( I have to tell my wife
that all the time :) )
good luck,
brian

hot spot on the back of the leg Posted: 04-12-08 00:58am
I have been having a hot feeling on the
back of one of my thighs. No pain just
the hotness comes and goes for no reason.
Saw my doctor and he was perplexed. I am
going to see a neurologist about this.
Anyone experience this?

I just googled this and am having the same
thing, only down the front of my thigh and
closer to the knee. It's getting more and
more frequent and is freaky. No pain
though. Did you get this sorted out?
