Question 5

i get a burning sensation at the top of my leg this happens a lot  threw the day what is it?

Accepted Answer

Burning: This kind of sensation can suggest some irritation of a nerve, but also sometimes referred pain from a joint or muscle that might irritate surrounding nerves.  Can also be early infection like shingles, though usually that is episodic.  Precise answer would require better description of location and what seems to cause the symptom to occur (standing, sitting, etc).

Question 7

scraped leg has a burning sensation i have tried a cool rag and ic pac?

Accepted Answer

Likely nerve problem: Your skin has tons of nerve endings.  When they get hurt, your nerves may get very inflamed causing the burning sensation.  Ice and cool rag may make it feel cooler, but as long as the nerve is agitated and inflamed, it will continue to feel as if it is burning.  It is hard to say when it will stop since nerves may take awhile to heal or improve if it is not permanently damaged.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Very well could be compression of a nerve root. The resultant compression can cause the sensation of the burning feeling in your leg. I would visit with a doc, obtain an xray and then maybe either medication or referral.

Short acting: Icy  hot doesn't last very long. The real question is why do you have burning pain in your leg? If your primary care doctor can't figure it out as k your doctor to refer you to a neurologist for an evaluation.
