Hi,
Thanks for asking. I undrstand your concern.
Your symptoms of warmth & sensitivity on complete leg with numbness along with skin sensitivity on stomach .... suggest some disc or lumber vertebral changes..causing irritation of the sciatic nerve supplying the affected part./can be diabetic nuropathy.
The symptoms being mild ..it must be just beginning of problem &would heal with minimal drugs & specific physiotherapy .
Pleaee consult aspinal surgeon for physycal
examination,an immaging i vestigation &few blood tests followed by specific advise.
