A warm spot - wierd sypmtom.

[Phteven]

I have a very weird thing happening.
I often have a warm spot on my left calf. The first times I noticed it I assumed it was a warm spot from the car heater but then I noticed it when I was not in the car. I think it happens more when I'm sitting down but maybe I notice it more than.
It feels like a warm spot from a heater or like when you step in front of a jet in a heated pool and get warm water on your leg.
According to Dr Google it could be a brain tumour or a pinched nerve or maybe just imaginitis.
I feel kind of silly bothering my Dr with it.
Has anyone else ever had a warm spot? How long did it take to go away? What was it?

It's not painful or annoying, in fact with winter coming on it's kind of pleasant on a cold morning.

Could also be a symptom of some kind of soft tissue infection or even a dvt? Is it painful at all?

[Little Chicken]

Is it swollen, tender or red. Is that calf bigger then the other?

[Phteven]

It's not painful. It's not hot to touch or red or swollen. Both my calves look the same.

[Little Chicken]

I have no idea then. Could it be the start of a varicose vein?

[Junglemum]

So it just feels hot inside? But not from the outside when you touch it?

Yep, just like a I have my leg resting on an electric blanket or something else that is warm.

is your neck sore? on the opposite side? I know that sounds crazy, but I recently had a pinched nerve in my neck and one of my syptoms was the same warmth you're describing - Imaginitis... ha, i like it

[Junglemum]

Well i'm sure it's not imaginitis! But no idea what it is. If it's not swollen or painful i wouldn't worry about it too much. Do you ever see an osteo or chiro? Kind of does sound nerve related....

My neck has been a bit sore - at the point where the neck meets the shoulder but I think it's more a shoulder pain than a neck pain and it's on the same side.
My hamstring on that side hurts when I run for the last day or so but not when I do dead lifts.
I always have a few aches and pains from the gym so it's hard to know what is muscle soreness that will pass in a day or two and what is related...

Maybe I should just see the Doctor, I can nag her about my other trivial issues at the same time.
