Question 1

what  causes burning , tingling, and  pain in my legs.  it started in my left leg and is starting to spread into my thigh.?

Accepted Answer

See below: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 2

pain on top of foot, burning & tingling, radiates up outter leg almost feels like electrical sensation, what's the cause?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Unfortunately, the process of getting sensation from your foot to your brain has many steps, and as such there are many things that can go wrong.  Some possibilities include pinched peroneal nerve at the knee, pinched nerve root in the lower spine, irritation in the spinal cord itself, or a problem in the brain.  A neurologist can help localize the problem and determine an effective treatment.

Question 3

what can cause burning and tingling in my groin down my leg to my feet?

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: This sounds like your sciatic nerve is the cause of the pain as it runs down the back of the leg to the foot.  If you sit with your legs stretched straight out in front of you and raise your leg pulling your toes toward you and the pain gets worse it is the sciatic nerve.  If the pain continues  or worsens seek medical attention.

Question 4

what causes your inside ankle to have burning and tingling sensation that travels to foot and extreme lower front part of leg? also swelling when up on feet very long? i have injured it a couple of times before, rolled it 1st time and fractured 2nd

Accepted Answer

: Those with deformation of the distal medial tibia and or pes planus sometimes develop posterior tibial neuropathy at the level of the ankle/foot with symptoms much as you describe.  Dr. R.

Question 5

can a herniated disc cause bilateral leg pain(burning, tingling) mostly front of legs after exertion(walking fast, uphill, climbing stairs, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Yes, although there are other potential causes as well.  A detailed exam and review of your studies will likely yield the correct diagnosis and treatment options.

Question 6

went to gp with slight tingling in left leg. he dismissed ms because i showed no other symptoms. chalked it up as compressional neuropathy. now my feet are burning, especially when i sit, they feel like they're on fire. could that still be caused by compr

Accepted Answer

Yes: It could be due to that,  But it also could be due to diabetes, heavy metal poisoning and other nutritional deficiencies.  I think you need to return or see another doctor for a complete workup including labs and possibly an imaging study on your back.

Question 7

why do my thighs get extremely hot? not a burning or tingling sensation but a radiating heat that is more noticeable when in bed or sitting.

Accepted Answer

Thighs warm: Do you have your laptop on your lap? Computers generate heat. May also be nerves if being compressed either from disc disease or if overweight when you flex  your hips to sit.  May also be abdominal pressure from cystic ovaries, or even gastritis. Rarely may be MS. f/u with doctor /urgent care.

Question 8

i'm having burning tingling down the outer part of my left thigh and down the front. i had a diagnosis of mp. is it normal to feel it down front thigh?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Can affect a portion of the front of the thigh.  This can be a difficult thing to treat.  Sometimes i refer people to a pain specialist to see if a nerve block will help if everything else has failed.

Question 9

i'm experiencing numbness, burning, tingling and sharp pain in my left thigh?

Accepted Answer

Leg numb/tingling: If persistent, you should be evaluated.

Question 10

right thigh tingling and burning.  just the front of it. feels like it just woke up? at night feels like it itches when laying. leaning forward hurts!

Accepted Answer

Varies: The sensation of "tingling" as you describe it can suggest a neurological component to your condition. The is a condition known as meralgia parastetica which can cause sumilar symptoms as can an upper lumbar radiculopathy.  Don't hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis.
