Warm sensation inside leg but not hot to touch
Posted , 99 users are following.
I have severe health anxiety and have been experiencing every symptom for the past 4 months. Recently I have developed a new sensation which of course sent me into a panic all over again. I am getting a warm sensation on the outer side of my left knee but it's not hot to touch. It feels like a hot cup of coffee was put against it or I rubbed Bengay on it. It only lasts for a few seconds and then goes and comes again off and on throughout the day. It's just a spot about the size of a ball that feels internally warm. Does anyone else experience this. I googled and now I am in a panic thinking it's a serious neurological disease. Please help

I'm not sure but I was having the same issue months ago.. I do suffer anxiety which seems like most people commenting here. I've also since looking at this post a while back have been diagnosed with COPD. I don't know if that's related to the warm feeling but I do feel like it's an anxiety issue.

I started getting a warm sensation on the top of my right foot. Not really warm on the outside. ... lasts only seconds ..... I've always had anxiety .... for the most part self controlled but i had a baby a few months back and my husband had to leave for military stuff ....then I got a stomach bug and that's made anxiety worse ..... well everything just sucks right now especially when I look up every twitch or stomach discomfort I have and self diagnose . Need to get to a doctor soon.

I am also feeling this heat sensation but mine seems to be spreading. It started in my rear end and now is going from my rear end all the way down to the bottom of my foot and I also have a pins and needles feeling with mine and it never goes away. I did call my doctor about it and he told me to try 30 minutes of cold then 30 minutes of heat which did nothing. I will be seeing him though on Friday so I figure I will ask him then again. I had a bad fall a couple of months ago and I am wondering it I dont have some nerve damage from that fall and it is now causing this problem, because before this started I did have some weird sensations in my knee at different times and some numbness. I also looked it sensation up on a symptoms checker and they did not even list this symptom. I have no anxiety but I do have fibromyalgia and rhuematoid arthritis and sjogren's syndrome. However for the 7,8, and 9 years that I have had those diseases I have never felt this sensation before just the last couple of weeks.

I am dealing with the same sensations but don't know if it is anxiety related. Has anyone here figured out what it is ?

Blood flow issue and likely stemming from an issue high in leg or low back. Regular Chiro adjustments! Alignment is everything! And affects every part of the human body. If you're not a Chiro fan, Study it further and start yoga or stretching! Your body (incldg your brain and emotions) was created to heal itself with all the God-given options and sometimes Western medicine!

Gotta admit I am a little relieved I'm not alone in this.
I have been getting the warm sensation in my left upper outer thigh. On and off for about a week now. I struggle with anxiety and depression most recently due to the passing of 3 loved ones in less than a year. The most shocking was the passing of my Dad because it was so sudden and unexpected. Ever since... I have been battling several issues.
I am getting better but just yesterday we laid my cousin to rest after taking his own life.
I have recently started exercising again.. trying to get out of this "funk" mood. Has anyone gotten any define answers?

I have recently been experiencing the same sensation in the outside of my left calf. I first thought the heat was on in the car. Now comes and goes a couple times a day. I'm very active and fit. I don't suffer at all from anxiety. It is strange.

Hi guys! I have searching for almost a week for whatever is causing this heat sensation on my outer right leg. I have panic attacks and always have this anxiety when it comes to health issues and drinking meds. Maybe thisnisball about anxiety and vitamin D and B12 deffieciency? Im afraid to go to a doctor, so what do you guys think is the reason behind this? 😭
