periodic warm sensation in lower left leg

[amani]

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?

wow!!!
How crazy is this. I have recently started to feel the warming sensation in my uper left leg and buttocks. Just about where the two meet. It started about 3 weeks ago around mid december  so i thought i would see if there was any information on the net. What a shocker when i saw all the peeps with similar experiances. Feels like someone touching me with a warm  hand. Is in the same place for me when it happens. As a matter of fact its happening right now. It can happen any time standing or sitting doesnt seem to matter. Seems to be a mystery. Havent changed any of my daily routines or anything like that including meds or vitamins or diet. It just started for no reason and is off and on. I am 58 and healthy or so i think. I do take lipitor and have for a few years as well as a blood pressure med and my checkups have been great. maybe its somthing new in the food we eat ...some new growth hormones or some crazy thing like that. will be watching to see if anyone comes up with a sound explination.
Well hope everyone is staying safe as winter seems to be everywhere it isn't supose to be.

For those trying to identify common denominators among those of us with this issue, here's my story and stats:  I have been experiencing the warm sensation in my left upper leg, usually when sitting down, particularly when driving.  It feels like the seat warmer is on (only on one side)  or as many have said, I peed myself.  This started as the sensation similar to a cell phone vibrating in my front pocket.  
Only thing health-wise that I can identify that could remotely be related are two things:
1) I stopped taking Lipitor (for high cholesterol) about three weeks before these symptoms started.     Interesting since someone posted they thought there may be a connection between this and cholestrol
2) I had a fracture in my knee almost five years ago (same leg)
3) hurt my foot or ankle with a bad sprain, tendonitis, or something similar about 2 months ago, and it has not gotten any better.  did get it x-rayed and it's not broken.

Here are my stats:
Sex: M
Age: 52
Height: 5Ft 9In
Job: office job, sit around mostly, but not entirely.  Commuting less than 10 minutes each way, but frequently need to drive for up to 2 hours at a time.
Health Background:.   Generally good
Medication:  Was taking Lipitor
Blood pressure: good, occasionally slightly high
Weight: not overweight
Symptom Location(s):  left leg - thigh
Length of time with symptom:  about three weeks
Frequency of Symptom: several times per day.
Allergies: None
Drugs: none, except for the lipitor
Vaccinations:   none  recently
Activity Level: Moderate    Walk when I can and occasionally bicycle.
Stress Level: Moderate   (I have teenagers, what can I say?)
History: nothing significant that I can figure out


Good luck to all!!!

Male 45 not significantly overweight. Noticed a warm spot in my left leg slightly below knee, at the back of my leg, a couple of weeks ago which now seems to be spreading. I hadn't given it any thought until just, but I did go sledging a couple of weeks ago with my nieces on my 45th birthday and took a bit of a tumble. Felt a crack in the base of my spine and felt mild pain for a few days. I guess I must have aggregated a forgotten back injury.  I hadn't associated the two but the trapped nerve theory seems to fit. Now I think about it, I don't think I had the sensation before the tumble. No diabetes but do take SSRI's

Hmm, same feeling in the left leg, as something is moving for a sec.
Can be after standing up from the car, or just sitting in front of the PC.

No pain, just a strange feeling. At first by searching for "strange feeling in left lower leg" I thought that I will not find anything, then I found this page.

Maybe is soleus veins, or saphenous vein, anyway, I always have a feeling that is a vein.

39 male, quit smoking 4 weeks ago. Sit all day with PC or drive a jeep. Working stress job as real estate agent. Feeling okay, no health problem, eating super great food.

Well, I can see that there are 500 persons with same sensation, and nothing is happening.

Hi
I am a 72 year female.
I too have the feeling as if I am standing in water and the warmness. I also suffer from restless leg syndrome.

I'm 59. good health. live with a lot of stress. Right Leg - mid way between the knee and ankle - intermittent warm spot about 3 inches in diameter - heats up from the inside out lasts a few seconds then disappears and happens again. Nothing similar that triggers it . Just happens. no pain at all just a glowing warmth and I have no idea why.
