random burning sensations: a worry or common thing?


Question Posted Sunday November 19 2006, 11:57 pm

I am getting really bad burning sensations in my legs. It rarely occurs but it hurts so bad I don't even wanna move my leg. It has only been affecting one leg at a time and not both. I have no idea what it is. I tried looking up symptoms that relate to my problem such as RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), and Neuropathy, but I can't seem to figure out if I have one of them or not. I mean I get burning sensations but when I looked at RLS symptoms it listed that you also get these spasms and I don't get those -- just burning sensations. Could someone tell me what possible conditions it could be? If so, are there at-home treatments or is this something to consider getting a Doctor immediately? Thanks in advance.

You don't know what it is so don't rule everything out that anyone suggests, that's silly. If you do that, you could be skipping over what it really is and not getting the treatment you need for it. Please be open to every possibility. It could easily be a severe form of pins and needles and it could easily not. Did you even read what the article said? Perhaps pins and needles isn't exactly what you think it is. Of course I'm not going to know for sure what is happening to you, but you don't either. I gave you an idea, which is what you asked for. Your description is vague and could be any number of things, plus, I am not a doctor and I haven't examined you. My advice was to see a doctor. I hope that you have. If this isn't a problem yet it could become one or be the sign of something that is. Again, be open to anything and good luck. I hope you find out what it is. :)

Anything like this you could always bring up with your doctor. A doctor will probably know exactly what's going on. Any reason why you're so sure it's not growing pains? Don't be so quick to rule things out. You should be open to any possibilities. Anyways, my guess is that you are just getting pins and needles. I get them randomly sometimes and it can hurt a lot. Again though, ask a doctor about it. If it's the result of poor circulation or something there may be medication that you can take to help. Good luck. :)
