Has anyone ever experienced warm sensations on a part of their legs or arms or anywhere else??? It's not warm to touch but an internal warm sensations that feels like you put a warm cup of coffee against a patch of skin for a sec amd then it goes away. Its not painful at all just annoying and it is really sending my health anxiety off

    I am having this same issue! I have experienced it maybe 2-3 times on my lower back but typically it happens in my left arm, either  in my shoulder or my left hand. A few days it was also accompanied by tingling down my arm and in my face. My PCP made me go to the ER....who then referred me to a neurologist. Neurologist ordered a 3 day EEG and some MRIs. I get all of the results back in 2 weeks and can update.

    As an aside, I have been suffering from Postpartum Anxiety so I'm hopeful that is the cause and there is nothing real.

      Just to update for anyone curious. My eeg and MRIs ands TON of blood work came out clean leading neurologistto believe likely anxiety. After about 2 months it went away for me. It will randomly happen every now and then, but like once every 3 weeks or so, which makes me think the anxiety assumption might be right.

      Yeah mine is anxiety also. I stopped taking klonopin 6 months ago and it is worse now, but now that I know what it is hopefully it will go away soon. I noticed while I was on klonopin the first 3 years it went away but it came back in year 4 and I know it was because my body was intolerance withdrawal then.

      I hope it had faded for you. Your fear is anxiety (I’m a fellow sufferer). The panic, not being able to sleep, nausea and warming sensations were all anxiety symptoms for me. Find outlets for yourself; exercise, journaling, better diet, etc. and it will get better.

    I found this post after googling because I’ve been dealing with this past 6years and still searching for answers. 

    So from what I found out, this is “electronic harassment” done by no one knows who.. I’m not saying everyones going thru this, but everyones symptoms I just read is exactly same as mine so I dont know.... I’m looking for a way to cure this myself. And as I’m typing I’m feeling it all over my body.

    Try doing a search on youtube and google, see if it sounds like anything you guys are experiencing.

    Hello you, 

    I'm a girl 23 years old - And I have the same burning sensation in a patch on my left arm. The pattern is a wave-like sensation. It appears for seconds like an internal rush of heat, and then it is gone for minutes, then it comes back. I've had the feeling for days now, it comes and goes. 

    I'm wondering how it can turn back to exactly the same spot? I have severe health anxiety. Do you think this can be caused by "just" anxiety? 

    Kind regards to all of you out there!

      Yeah, if you go back through older posts, I think the common thread here is stress/anxiety related.  I had posted sometime last year, and since then things have calmed down for me and I have not had this temporary burning sensation since.  Best of luck to you guys and de-stress as much as you can!

    Hello is anyone still experiencing this sensation? Has anyone got a diagnostic from their doctor or have any idea how to treat this so it will go away? It's a very uncomfortable feel when you're just sitting down and both arms start feeling warm. Sometimes the feeling, feels like warm water just sitting inside my arm. And sometimes it feels like a sun burn even though I'm not sunburned.

      Reducing anxiety was how I got mine to go away. Try exercising, better diet, massage, vitamins, etc.

    So last week was the first time I felt this warm sensation on a spot of my arm. The only difference for me is that it started to swell up. Not a lot but i could literally watch it swell. It is still swollen, however it isn't warm anymore. I have also felt the same sensation a couple ther times on the opposite arm but a different spot, also just above my hips on one side. These other spots did not swell, but the original spot is still swollen. This is all in a 8 day time frame. Anyone else experience any swelling?
