My leg feels ice cold

Has anyone had the experience of suddenly feeling like a part of your body was ice cold.  Tonight my left leg suddenly started to feel like it was sitting in an ice bath.  It is not cold to the touch though, just perceived as cold.  I just can not shake th ecold feeling, the rest of me is comfortable.  Is this somethin that happens with MS?  This is my first experience with it...I do have other issues with this same leg in the last 2 years...muscle spasms and have had numbness and tingling in this leg for periods of time as well.

I ran across this conversation while trying to figure out what could be causing my right arm to be cold. It's cold to me and to anyone who touches it. It's usually my hand and lower arm, but it can travel higher up my arm. I'm healthy. I've never been diagnosed with MS, but then I've never been tested for it. I had gestational diabetes, but that was more than 20 yrs. ago, and haven't had any trouble w/my blood sugar since then. I am overweight, and realize that's something I need to address. I'd like to know what causes this coldness in my arm...which doesn't happen often...is it something serious or just a part of aging. I'm 56.

I have been told I have Lupus and sjordons also around 10 yrs ago also and now for the past few yrs have been having my bones feeling frozen deep in my bones and it is very hot where I live. Could I have MS also or is Lupus causing this coldness and numbness etc...?

I have the same happening with me and all that helps with the swelling is putting my legs n feet up and after a few hrs it will go down some but that's it. Wish I knew something that could help us both with this problem. If you find out something that helps please let me know also. Thanks, Have a great day!

Hi my name is Sharita. I am new to this site. As a matter of fact, I never heard of it. I googled my symptoms and this is what was pulled up. I have been experiencing the issue of my legs feeling cold but they are actually warm to touch. They stay swollen all the time(except when I am sleep). As soon as I get out of bed, they begin to swell in the lower parts. I can touch them and put a dent in my legs. They have turned completely black. I went to the doctor but he said I did not have a blood clot. I have been hospitalized and had all kinds of test for blood clots, and all that. They are continuing to hurt and feel cold. Sometime when I put on socks, they feel a little better but they still continue to swell. It is like fluid build-up. Any suggestions?
