warm sensation in leg/calf

H M.,

My husband has had random transient warmth and swelling in different parts of his legs for years. We just chalk it up to various spots of inflammation for various reasons. It comes and then goes.

Since you are young, in good health and not at risk for a blood clot, I would not be concerned in that regards, but if you continue to have the issue, it gets worse, or if you simply can't let go of the worry regarding it...then making an appointment to talk with your doctor would be a good next step.

Try some coping skills first though and give it some more time. I am betting that in a day or so, it will be gone.

S.C.

I had a blood clot when I was a few years younger than you but I had a few risk factors that it doesn’t sound like you have. The discomfort doesn’t tend to move around or come and go and In my case I had swelling with it. Is it warm to the touch or just a sensation within your leg? In a separate incident, I have also had similar sensations to what you describe it was either from a medication I was on or my body’s reaction to the stress I was under at the time. I know it can be really confusing when our bodies do weird things. As others have said keep up your coping tools and see a doctor if you don’t improve.
