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 amazed, how many other individuals are going through the same thing as me. I work 8 hours days as well. For about two weeks I also been feeling this hot sensation down my left leg. It scazy because the sensation only last a few second, but I'm also worried. I went to the doctor got a whole check up/physical done. Doctor said I'm in good help.???? Makes me wonder why and how so many people are having the same symptoms as me.

I am having a "burning" senastion in my upper right thigh. At first I thought that my Zippo leaked fluid on me and I was having somekind of chemical burn. Not the case though since I stopped carrying it for at least two months now. I am worried that it is a blood clot because I smoke, close to 30 and on Depo. Although some others have posted that they are on generic Celexa like I am; I have been on it for about 3 three years and the sensation just started a couple of months ago.

After reading everyone's posts I think that I will go to the doctor. I was kind of worried about going and saying 'my leg is burning but you can't see or feel anything doc." At least I know that others are having the same problem.

I have had this sensation on and off for about two years.  Always the left leg, mostly calf but sometimes the thigh.  I am glad that others too have been having the same symptoms.  I thought I was the only one. I haven't found any connection to weight loss, weight gain, vitamins or lack thereof.  I did find some other sights that insinuated it might be related to auto immune disease. Who knows. I do hope that, if someone on this site, does find the answer to please post.  We all seem to be in the same boat...wondering how and why.

Well as fast as it came on it has left. I have no idea what it was as I had leg scans, etc. The only thing I can think of is I stopped taking vitamins that I was taking for 5 years, then after the "heat sensations" started I went back on the vitamins and 2 weeks later, symptoms GONE.

Coincidence? I have NO idea...
BTW, I have been taking Super B-100, Cal-Mag-Zinc (3 per day), L-Tyrosine and L-Glutomine.

I've been experiencing the same warm sensation in my lower left calf down to my ankle and heel for about two weeks now. I don't have much back pain but carry my 4 yr old son around sometimes when he's tired or something. I'm a very petite 5' 2" 105 lb 39 yr old woman. I too have no clue what could cause this but it is getting annoying! I don't have the feeling at night (I don't think). I have had a bad knee for years and have pain in my calf and thigh periodically...could that be the cause? I have had the pain for a while though so not sure if that is the culprit. I have a doc appt on Tuesday, so hopefully I can get some tests done & answers. If anyone has any more info on this, please let me know.

Injury to my  L1 - 5,  lower back pain, Warm flush to lower leg and heel, with burning sensation in ankle.  Diagnosis from Chiropractor and D.O both state symptoms are consistant with  consistant with back injury. Prior to second opinion did not accept initial diagnosis.  I am now very confident that is the answer  for my particular sensations.
