periodic warm sensation in lower left leg

For the past 2 days I have a very slight heat sensation in my lower left leg (no other problems). Is this some thing I should be concerned about now, or wait for my drs. appt in a few weeks?

I'm an 18 year old male who has just recently experienced a warming sensation on my right heel, just below my ankle. This sensation started about a few days ago. I have no idea what caused it. When it comes to my daily life, I'm a pretty active senior, getting ready to graduate :).  I'm surprised to see how many people actually have this symptom. It's a shame none of us have a diagnosis

I started to get the warm water sensation running down my legs and thighs and now its changed to what I can only describe as hot spots on my collar bone, arms, hips - could it be related to an epidural I had 3 years ago?  It does sound like its nerve related....

I found this thread via google search too. After reading the above I realized that I've been wearing comprsssion shorts lately for underwear. Maybe that's where the issue is. Interesting.

I've just located this web site because just like everyone else I have been experiencing a warm sensation in my right leg.  It feels like a heater is close to my lower leg area and at times it starts in the thigh area and shot downward in a fast sensation.  It's so weird and I'm a little worried.  Thanks for sharing all the information you have on the problem.
