I've been feeling a burning sensation in my right leg, just below the knee, for about a month now. It didn't start after any injury or anything, and I'm getting a bit worried. Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allFound out about this issue around 89 months ago but never had any pain or discomfort since then. Is surgery really necessary if there's no pain? Has anyone else had patients with a similar experience?
If there’s no pain or complications, observation may be okay—get regular follow-up imaging.

I've been feeling this strange warm sensation running down the outside of my left leg, and it's only started happening recently. It's kind of worrying me a bit. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it just one of those weird things that comes and goes? Any advice would be really appreciated.
The warm water sensation running down the outside of your left leg could be due to various reasons such as nerve irritation, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or even a harmless condition like meralgia paresthetica, which is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and it's recommended to consult a neurophysician to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
