Burning

Posted by aunttonipage @aunttonipage, May 13 6:18pm

Ok so I haven’t been on here much lately because was feeling some better. But I have some new symptoms & I’m curious if anyone else does.

So for the past two weeks I’ve had what feels like hot flashes in my legs. It’s not painful but literally like a flush similar to female hot flashes. Last up to a minute and then passes. Started out on back of thigh and now mostly shins. Not hot to the touch or red.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I shouldn’t have said burning like I did in subject. It’s more like hot/flushed feeling.

@aunttonipage: Hi! If I were you I would see a Dr pronto to check my leg vein flow for clots. A simple ultrasound should put your mind at ease, but you don’t fool around with traveling clots that are on the way to your lungs! Be safe not sorry.
Also could be that leg vein valves are damaged and are leaking. Good luck!

I would be more worried about blood clots if only one leg but this is both. No discoloration or constant swelling or heat, which is what I found when I looked up symptoms of both.
