Question 1

i have warm sensation running down the outside of my left leg from knee to ankle. there is no pain, tingling or discomfort but it happened 3x today?

Accepted Answer

Sciatica ?: The symptoms sound like sciatica, a peripheral nerve disorder that is associated with degenerative disc disease from your lumbar spine. I suggest you have your spine evaluated by an orthopedic spine MD with X-ray and possibly MRI to see if the discs are in alignment or not. This is a serious first sign that if unchecked can lead to nerve entrapment, pain, and crippling paralysis

Question 2

i have a strange cold or numb feeling on the top of my right shin, running from below the knee to about halfway down the shin, along with intermittent knee pain. the leg is not cold to the touch, but it does feel odd. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: Your symptom suggests a neuropathic origin or a nerve being pinched most likely at the knee level where there is likely inflammation or swelling. While arthritis is the most common reason seen in practice for such symptoms, other causes or mechanical damage, cartilage or ligaments, for example cannot be ruled out. Your doc remains your best resource in case your symptoms persist or worsen.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Nerve injury due to compression from internal or external sources, infection, inflammatory process, compartment syndrome, ischemia ( lack of blood flow) or tumor.
