What Causes Burning Sensation In Left Calf Area?

In the past several days I have been getting a burning sensation in my left calf area. There is no discernible difference in skin temperature. What could be causing this? Please note I do suffer my fibromyalgia but I have not been able to locate this as a symptom of fibro on any medical website

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded thatyou has burning sensation in calf area. It signifies neuropathy. You should look for your blood sugar to rule out diabetes. You can get your vitamin B12 test to rule out its deficiency. Till then you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Mecobalamine is helpful in neuropathic pains. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
