What Causes Warm Sensation In Leg?
I have the warm sensation in one leg- no pain and this happens fairly often. I see from previous answers many things but wonder about taking statins as I do take medication for cholesterol. I also tripped and fell last summer- no real injury but did fall hard on my bottom and back on my head so wondered if I was having some kind of nerve damage. Sometimes this same leg will get numb if I sit in the wrong position.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Possibility of compression of nerve root in spine, leading to pain and warm sensation in your buttock and leg.
I will advise you to do MRI spine
I advise my patient’s analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin, you can consult to your treating doctor and do required investigation.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
Another possibility of lumbar canal stenosis which will be ruled out on MRI.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
