Title: Burning spot on leg
Post by: jaypo on December 07, 2019, 01:17:25 PM
Hi ladies
I have just experienced a very strange sensation which scared me half to death,out of the blue I had this intense burning on my leg, I actually thought I'd spilt some hot tea on it but no,it got hotter and hotter,just one small spot on the front of my thigh,lasted for a few seconds then vanished as quickly as it started,any ideas?

Static from the carpet/knickers/socks?  Any marks left?  Does the area itch?

Fleas  :o

Jay! It's nerve pain from your back, I get it, so does OH, I get it mainly in my ankle and foot.
Feels like someone's just poured hot water on you doesn't it?

Yeah, still nerves there...I'm nearly 100% sure it's nerve pain Jay...the only other thing it could be is acid in your muscle from your workout?  My moneys on nerve pain tho...

The sciatic nerve runs from the buttock and can cause referred pain as well as following the nerve from bum to ankle.

A bit like neuralgic pain: sharp and sudden.

I have a burning spot on my L  buttock.  Did a lot of bending and weeding for 2 days, so that's it!  Even though I was kneeling.

I can feel a tender spot burning on my L buttock but to touch with a finger I can't locate the area.  Clothing rubs though so I am aware of it all the while.

OH! hope not - probably a nerve, burning under the skin.  Not hot on top.  Will get Himself to have a Close Look Later  ;)

That isn't it  >:( Blasted sore spot has kept me awake most of the night  :-\.  If I touch the buttock it doesn't reproduce the soreness.  DH has looked closely with his jewellers' loop, nowt of note. 

But it is SORE to touch: knickers, sheet, towel.  Maybe a small ingrowing hair?  Or a really really tiny spot?  Or something trying to escape from within  :o ?

Answers on a post card. Please.

Thing with boils clkd,they start quite deep don't they?Or even a spot,is it just a small patch that's sore,not like the whole buttock?

A tiny tiny area.  Can't even pin point it  :-\.  Not hot to touch.  Could be an ingrowing hair.
