Question 1

why does one of my legs always feels cold?

Accepted Answer

Circulation: If one leg is consistently cold and you cannot easily warm it and especially if you have pain in that leg while exercising, then there might be a problem with blood flow which can be quite dangerous.  You should see your family doctor right away especially if you have a history of diabetes or clotting abnormalities.

Question 2

what would cause part of your leg to become ice cold?

Accepted Answer

Ice cold: that's important. Get a vascular ultrasound  of your leg.
Your PCP can arrange it.

Question 3

i'm always cold and have pain in my legs ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Many factors affect leg pain and feeling cold.  Causes could be circulatory, endocrine, neurological, metabolic, nutritional, etc.  A thorough history and physical examination with appropriate testing by your doctor will likely come up with the answer or the the direction of focus for further testing and treatment.

Question 4

left leg always seems cold?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: Trauma to a joint can make the whole leg cold.  You are a bit young to have a circulation problem.  If you have had trauma, or if the skin or nails change color, seek help and examination.

Question 5

could bloody clots be why my leg is so cold?

Accepted Answer

Not very likely: While circulation and blood flow can be associated with coolness of a limb, it would more likely be narrowing of small arteries rather than a problem on the vein side of the circulation where blood clots commonly form. Also, venous blood clots more commonly cause pain and swelling than change in temperature. Consider an evaluation to check circulation as well as nerve function in your leg.

Question 6

why do i have a cold sensation in my leg? which kills and its always at nice every so oftern it kills

Accepted Answer

Cold leg: Its difficult to say since you did not share any medical information with us, not even your age. Cold and painful extremities are often suggestive of a vascular compromise. You need a vascular ultrasound study to see if you have obstruction of blood flow. If detected, then a consultation with a vascular surgeon or an interventional radiologist would be the next step.

Question 7

what is a cold stimulus test for a leg?

Accepted Answer

Test: Cold stimulus is simply putting something cold on limb.

Question 8

why would my legs swell an hurts.and the stay cold.

Accepted Answer

?poor blood supply: As we get older, our heart has to work harder and our blood vessels get weary.  Sometimes this leads to swelling of the legs.  There are other possible causes also, but this is definitely a problem that should be investigated with your primary care physician. Don't just say to yourself it is a part of getting older, because it can be helped.  If you can, put your feet up, like if watching tv.

Question 9

sometimes when i get cold, my legs start hurting. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you are experiencing significant amount of pain every time you are exposed to cold temperatures, and this is something new for you,  it makes sense to have your circulation evaluated with an arterial ultrasound.
