Cold/Wet Feeling on an area on my leg

[MeggyE]

I have no idea where to post this question of mine.  

Often times I have found myself trying to dry off my left leg below the knee because I thought I felt my leg get wet.  It is so annoying!!! There is nothing I could see on my leg and every brush I do, my hand ends up being dry, not wet.  What could be the possible cause of this???

I thought about posting in the Neurology forum as well as skin-ology.  I thought it might be possible it had something to do with nerves in my leg that's causing this wet feeling.

Thanks,

Me

Hello dear,
                Have you seen a neurologist or got any tests done? Do you have difficlulty in walking?The correct diagnosis can only be made after complete neurological examination,so you should see a neurologist .Also sometimes if all the findings are correct some psychological resons may cause this sensation. Get yourself properly evaluated.

MeggyE,

I have exactly the same sensation...started a few days ago...Mine is right leg just below the knee....

Did you get it checked out?  Did it go away by itself?

Thanks in advance...

I have had exactly the same symptoms for the past several weeks.  I saw my MD.  He used a sort of instrument that caused me to feel vibrations.  I could feel vibrations everywhere but the knee that has been bothering me.  My doctor then told me to make an appointment to see a neurologist.  He thought it might be caused by a small nerve but that it probably wasn't anything serious.  Have you found out anything about why your knee feels wet?

Me too!!  This just started with me a few days ago.  When I get up and start walking, it feels like there is a wet spot on the skin on the back of my knee.  It is just a little area.  It feels like a drop of water is there.  Very wierd.  Glad I'm not the only one in the world who has experienced this. Anything new on this??

I have had these sensations for over 6 yrs. now.  Had every test imagined at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.  They said that it was small fiber sensory neuropathy.- immune mediated.  I had the flu prior to this..  The only difference between you and me is that I have it basically all over, my arm, legs, face,scalp and sometimes my back. usually legs and face.  It will drive you insane.  I have tried many different kinds of medication without much sucess. but maybe some medication that the doctors give would help with the small area that you have.             Take care        Laaz

this feeling is annoying me, drimes me crazy, started 4 months ago, next week I going to have an MRI because the doc say may be neuro, since I had experience weird sensations or vertigo at the same time this started. Is in my legs and switches from below the knee to the calf. fells so wet that I tried to dry it.... I'll update next week with the doc answers if there's any.

MY MRI ISNT NORMAL!! they found a 9 mm anomaly in the left side what does tt means? I DONT KNOW!!! They set up another mri with some fliuds injected in my brain to check for the cause!!! I"M fricking out!. people with wet fellings go get you MRI DONE!!!
I'll update!

I cannot believe there are other people experiencing the same thing as me!!! This is crazy. The wet feeling has been happening for about a few weeks on the back of my left calf. I've been seeing neurologists for a year to determine if I have MS because of other symptoms, plus I have spinal stenosis. Honestly, at least this is just annoying rather than the actual pain I have been living through over the past three years. It has got to be a neurological thing, but it is really freaky!!!

Mi second MRI with contrast show  prominent j T2 jugular bulb in the left side if the brain, this means the flow of the non-oxigened blood is "turbulent" or extremily fast. Which means that I may have less headaches than normal and possible be able to felt tha blood flowig in my bain and legs producing that cold sensation... WHATEVER...bla,bla. The dr. said that may even make me less propense for stroke. So brain veins are not even and simetric and some people (about 8%) can live normaly with this enlage veins in the brain.
So I'm great I just need to learn to leave with tis ANNOYNG STUFF until I forget is there... see ya!!
