Warm sensation inside leg but not hot to touch

Feeling stooped on its own.

Wow I really thought I was just going slightly insane but apparently not! I've never been professionally diagnosed but I'm more than 99% certain I have an anxiety problem that I've learnt to handle. I noticed after a large amount of time over the Christmas holidays were I had no real stress that I was fine, but now uni is starting again I've been overthinking more things and more recently starting getting random hot or warm patches on my right calf exactly like it has been described by the rest of the replies!!  I never had this particular symptom before so I didn't think it was anxiety related at all!! 

Did you ever find out what was causing you heat sensation on your leg? My left knee does this exact thing. It feels like the sun is shining on my leg but it’s not. Hope you were able to get some answers! 

Thanks for your reply! 

Hi, it was an age ago when I first sent in my description of the same. Very odd. I think it has something to do with the nerves which are linked to that area . It has happened rarely in my life but it simply disappears. I wouldnt get overly worried . Perhaps it is something as simple as doing some form of new exercise which might twing a nerve unusually somewhere. I certainly wont worry about my spells . Worrying about thungs only creates an unhealthy platform in your body which creates far worse that a simple warm patch. That my take on it anyway. 

If it truly does bother you see a doctor. But mine simply went away when I had stopped focusing on it, then I realized with a happy start that it had gone. 

Do hope I have been a help. We are all made differently so do what you feel most comfortable with. Please try not to worry too much .x

 

I am also experiencing this type of hot sensation on the Outer part of my left knee did you ever find out what it was

Dear So Anxious,

Sorry but I did not find the reason , I googled also but chalked it up to stress and another side effect from the R A, but would advise you to go to your phy. or an urgent care and get it checked, my symptoms went away

Warm Regards

I have started to experience the same sensation a week ago. i stupidly googled and have made my self sick with worry and have convinced myself have i have Ms.

Vitamin d deficiency and anxiety seem

to be common in this feed. it also seems that most of the people who have commented have noticed their symptoms go away over time. is there anyone who still experiences this warm spot, and if so have you got any more answers as to what it could be? im just hoping mine stops so my anxiety goes away.

Hi...I just a few days back started having this hot flush on my right leg ..a few seconds and it's gone.As I was browsing thru the net saw ur comments.I am just wondering which doctor to go for..almost for 4 weeks I had health issues and lots of stress and anxiety.

Should I go chk with any specialist ..but not able to make out whom to go.

pls guide me.

In case anyone happens to be reading this 2 years later--I do have some updates to my specific conditions. This is also posted as a reply to my original response to this post. Hope this benefits someone!

When I originally found this post, I was finishing my dual degree at university and had been struggling with severe stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. I had recently started a new job, was mere months away from graduation, and barely holding it together. The sensation more or less faded once the stress and anxiety were not as severe. The experience, however, did lead me to contact a physician to discuss my concerns. After multiple blood tests, MRIs, and Xrays, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in Sep 2017. In Sep 2018, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, sciatica, and chronic lumbago. In May 2019, I was diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency and was placed on 50000 IU of VitD. Through physical therapy, I also learned I have a tilted pelvic girdle that forces my right hip to sit lower then my left. I am currently being treated for chronic neuropathy on top of my chronic pain syndrome. So far, the only combination of medications that has worked for me is a mix of muscle relaxers, antidepressants, and anti-epileptics. The combo has helped calm my nerves so I do not experience this discomfort as frequently as I used to.

I hope this helps

hi All, this is so interesting. i too have exactly this symptom, it feels like a band of heat across the middle of my right shin bone. i have it occasionally, its very noticeable, and then it dissapears only to return months or longer later, i have never thought to mention this to my doctor and regretfully had my physical yesterday but will note this for future. very odd. i am healthy, athletic, have no health issues and normal metabolites, no cancers, neurological issues. will be interested to hear from any of you that have posted above, noting some of the posts are dated, what happened to you? anything come of the hot spot ln the right shin?
