A member asked:
I have woken up a couple of times in the past couple of weeks to my legs drenched in sweat below the knee. is this a sign of cancer or something bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Nobody knows why this happens. If you have accompanying fever or weight loss, or you develop an obviously over-enlarged lymph node or two, cough, or splinter hemorrhages on your proximal nailbeds, get seen.
