Why Is My Right Leg Colder Than My Left Leg?

In the past couple of months I ve noticed my r. Leg/ foot colder than my left. I have arthritis in my hips, have developed a slight limp, and decreased ability to squat, sit sideways on legs or open my legs wide in a pulled up position, or pull legs into body ( as in putting on tights) due to pain. Trying to do stretches and exercises given me in rehab therapy, but rather slow going and never noticed the difference in temp between left/right leg. What s going on?

Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.

There seems to be circulation problem and this would cause colder leg,tingling and pain after walking. You need to do Doppler ultrasound and further evaluation depending on results.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
