My leg isn't hot to the touch but it feels like it's burning up, should i be concerned?

Possible nerve prob.: Many patients describe a 'burning' sensation in legs when they have a pinched nerve. If there is constriction on the nerve that can be relieved such as by treatment of slipped disc, the burning may go away. If the abnormal sensation is due to diabetes, Gabapentin (neurontin) is used to block the nerve signals and relieve the burning.
