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 have the warm feeling in my LEFT leg, at about the bottom of my pants pocket. I realized that's where I keep my cell phone.

Crazy question: to everyone with this warm feeling, does the leg with the sensation correspond to the pocket in which you keep your phone?

I believe this is related to bad posture or something with the nerves on the spinal cord. Don't think it's anything life treatening.

I have read all of your posts and I just started to notice a burning hot spot on the inside of my left leg just at the top of my calf muscle today.  I see you all mention you sit a desk and all think that it is a pinched nerve.  I also do the same but I work for a chiropractor which I also got a spinal adjustment today but it didn't seem to help.  I also get a spinal adjustment regularly.  I also recall that my right lower side of my back ached since last sunday because I cleaned my horses stalls and had to push the wheel barrow through the snow.  I am not sure because of my strain in my right lower back I might have been walking more on my left side because of the pain.  I will continue with more frequent spinal adjustments and see if this helps within the next couple of weeks to ease the pain of the burning hot sensation on my leg.

I am a male, 51.  I have burning "spots" in my right leg, starting at the
knee.  It sometimes moves rapidly and I get the sensation that if that "hits" my lungs or heart I will die!  The burning spots happen most often when I'm in bed at night. It's scary and I don't know how to approach a doctor about this.  It's sometimes in my left leg.  Within seconds after the "burning spot" happens, my chest feels "empty" like it's sinking. This sounds strange and I don't know where to start.  During the daytime now, I am starting to get the same symptoms.  HELP!

If anyone could give me any advice I would really appreciate it.  I am 31 yrs old I have 3 children,2 yrs old being the youngest.  I have worked myself up for about 5 mts now terrified I could ahve ALS.  It started with slight pains in my left leg and arms and  my leg would feel a little fatiuged but I still have strength in it.  The left side is the side I hold my daughter on.   Then I wasn't sure if it was from reading the symptoms of ALS but now I have had some cramping in my legs and spasams and the warm sensations I have began to feel in my left leg and arm sometimes.  My back has been hurting through this whole thing as well..I guess I am hoping to fins some comfort that maybe this could be a pinched nerve or something in my back.  

I have been refered to a neurologist but now I have lost my insurance : ( and can not get anything for a while because I have a thyroid condition so its really expensive.  If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it!Thanks in advance..Nikki
