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?

wild, this is the exact feeling i am feeling in my right ankle bone.. hard to describe but "cold water being poured on it' is very accurate.  i am a 49 year old.. semi active.. had 1 pin left in my right foot from bone graft/bone fusion surgery 5 years ago?

Update from SBwsr:

I have good news.  I have been taking the vitamin B/B12 complex, that was suggested in a number of older posts and after 5 days, I am no longer experiencing the warm sensation on my right shin!  Since I just turned 38 and as a result of this entire experience, I am now on a diet, taking vitamins daily again and working out to get better in shape and to be heathly.

I am very pleased to learn that others are experiencing the same periodic "warm sensation" feeling---mine is on my right shin.  I thought that I was just imagining this because I have been under tremendous stress for the past few weeks and this symptom started about 2 weeks ago.   I saw several posts about vitamin B/B12 and plan to run out and purchase a vitamin B complex because I stopped taking my daily vitamins about 6 months ago,  stopped working out due to lack of time and laziness---let's be honest here, I am very tired all the time and I am currently 30 pounds overweight.   I also started a job about a year ago that requires me to sit 8-10 hours a day as well.
I will return to share my status after a week of vitamin B...

I had this same feeling. I described it as warm water trickling down my leg. I went to the neurologist for other problems, and they found out that I have pernicious anemia. This is where the body lacks the enzyme needed to absorb vitamin b12. I was prescribed b12 injections and the feeling has gone away. A blood test can tell you are low in vitamin b12, and if it is due to pernicious anemia then you have to do the injections because the vitamin cannot be absorbed through the stomach.

I am 54, on my feet all day, stressful job and besides taking antidepressants and preacid I am pretty healhy.  I don't smoke or drink...maybe I should..LOL.  anyway I get the feeling like someone is pouring warm water down my leg.  Usually the back of my right leg just below my buttocks.  I wish someone would get an answer so I know this is nothing to worry about.  I always worry about MS since my sister has had it for 40 years and she had weird sensations that ran down her legs..that was something  I remember when she was first diagnosed.

Yes, I've started having this inner burning feeling about 3 weeks ago. Started in my lower right foot and has moved up to my lower right back now...O.o no pain involved but if or when I put something cold on a warm area I don't feel the cold because I guess it's that warm/hot on the inside..kinda cool haha I would say that I spend a decent amount of time sitting down in front of a comp as well, but I am an active 22 year old student. I also have a rare disease called the Hirayama Disease or Monomelic Amyotrophy as it may more generally be referred to, which eats away at the muscle in the forearms. No cure for it but it is neurological disease so I'm wondering if this burning sensation has some connection to it as I've seen some say it has a connection to being neuro related..I suppose I'll try the B-Vitamin thing and see if that helps..or just wait for everything to get warm and survive the winter :p
