Have A Hot Spot In The Leg. Could This Be Posture Related?
Yes, I have been getting these burst of hot spot on the inside of my right leg. It's on the inner of my right knee, but I don't feel the hot spot with my hand when I touch my knee. I don't feel pain on my knee. I did mess up my lower back (waist) when I stay at my daughters house and slept on the sofa about one month ago. I still have not recovered to 100%. If I move a certian way or step in a certain direction I get a zap or shock of pain on my lower back above buttocks. could this have something to do with this hot spot on leg. Have not seek medical help because of no medical insurance.

Blast of hot spot in the leg and pain as shock in low back, are symptoms of nerve irritation .It is possible that you have some back pathology (for example herniated disc) that is compressing a nerve and these symptoms appear.You must go to your doctor.He will examine you and,perhaps,will request additional test for establish right diagnosis and treatment.
