: When ice is first applied a “stinging” sensation not unusual. After 2minutes sensation should subside. And if placing over a superficial nerve.

Question 2

i am experiencing  abdominal pain (generalized) (worsened by: after meal) (quality: stinging or burning sensation, sensation of tearing pain) (severity: mild) , hand tingling, leg tingling, foot tingling, arm pain, chest pain or discomfort (quality: feels

Accepted Answer

Need doctor to check: Abdominal pain can be from many things. Stomach acid problems cause pain, as does pancreatitis or gallstones. Appendicitis is always a concern (pain is usually right lower abdomen, worsens over time, with fever coming on). If constipated for a while, stool could have backed up and cause pain. Gastrointestinal infections can cause pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. A doctor's exam is needed.

Question 3

what is causing all the funny sensations down my leg after having arthroscopic knee surgery? can doing squat tear something in knee?

Accepted Answer

If it&#x27;s done right-: -after the scope, meaning while there is still some fluid present, a squat can cause the capsule 2 rupture,usually @ the superior pole or closest 2 your head @ the top of the knee. The squat compresses the volume of the joint space so the high increase in pressure in the fluid will rupture, usually @ a portal site. May discolor, but harmless unless fever, chills &amp; increased pain.

Question 4

i have a hot cold sensation in thigh when sitting or layong?

Accepted Answer

Start with an exam: When that sensation occurs, do you also have numbness in the overlying skin? If so, then you may have a lumbar peripheral nerve problem. Tests like MRI &amp; EMG confirm, but you have to start with a thorough physical exam. Hope that helps.

Question 5

what would cause a vibration sensation in my thigh every so often?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: This symptom is commonly seen with pinched nerves.

Question 6

i feel a heat like sensation on my outer thighs. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Thigh burning: Anterior lateral thigh heat or burning may be related to meralgia parenthetica which is related to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.  This can be due to compression in or about the anterior hip or due to systemic diseases such as diabetes.  Usually easily treated.  Can become painful and uncomfortable. Heat sensation also be due to other conditions. Best evaluated with a good clinical exam.

Question 7

i keep getting cold sensation in both thighs what is it?

Accepted Answer

Cold: Could be vascular issue, hormonal or low blood count.

Question 8

what does a burning sensation in my thighs mean?

Accepted Answer

Burning thighs: This usually means that a subcutaneous nerve is being compressed. One common example is a condition called meralgia paresthetic, which usually affects from the anterior lower lateral abdomen down to the thigh and/or groin. Other causes would include chemical burns (from topical medications or otc products) or sunburn.

Question 9

tingling sensation in thigh really bothering me, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Annoying but benign: Sounds like meralgia paresthetica, lateral fem cut nerve of thigh pinched at hip area, and may respond to absence of any tight clothing or belts over waist.  Nerve pain meds might help but have side effects.  Check with doc if get worse.

Question 10

warm sensation on the back of my thigh,no pain is associated, and can last just a few seconds?

Accepted Answer

Does this happen: frequently, like once a day or every few hours, or is it a one time thing? Nerve entrapment can cause strange feelings like numbness and tingling but is usually accompanied by pain.  A venous blood clot in the back of your thigh can cause swelling, numbness and heat along with pain.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
