What Causes Warm Sensation On The Left Lateral Side Of Foot?

For 2 weeks I have had a warm sensation, not hot, not tingling, not painful in any way on the left lateral side of my foot. It feels like warm water inside my foot. It last for a max of 3 seconds. I am 40, 130 pounds, not diabetic, and have ho chronic conditions. This sensation happens once every couple of minutes throughout the day. Too many times for me to feel comfortable with it. I work out and am very aware of changes in my body.

Hello dear,

Considering the fact that you are non-diabetic and have no history of chronic conditions, the possibility of Diabetic neuropathy and other systemic causes for your symptoms might be ruled out.

Under such conditions, the symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:
1. Para-spinal muscle spasm and nerve entrapment at Lumbosacral region due to improper posture.
2. Inadequate hydration & Electrolyte imbalance of the body.
3. Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of nervigenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & Vitamin D needs to be added in your diet.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done.
Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.
X ray & MRI of Lumbosacral spine can also be carried out to detect any nerve entrapment.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
