What Causes Warm Tingling Sensation On Legs?

Hi, 22 year old male here- Lately I ve been feeling these warm/tingly sensations in my lower right leg (mostly my calf and foot). These sensations happen about twice a day and last about 20 min or so. There is no pain associated with these episodes. Could this be a sign of blood clots?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level oflumbar spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Since there is only tingling of the affected area it suggests that the affection of nerve root is only minimal.
Such minor symptoms are usually taken care of by Methylcobalamin supplements which you can take after consulting your orthopedician

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
