Burning sensation in leg

4 replies

Ok so Ive had this sensation for a few months now. I have it most of the day but always at night time, my right leg feels like it's on fire. I haven't done any exercise recently so I know I haven't pulled a nerve and I don't have any pains or twinges elsewhere.
Only other symptom I have is tiredness, I feel I could sleep all day. But I've put this down to stress. So should I be worried about this burning sensation? It's quite uncomfortable otherwise I would carry on ignoring it.

Could it be sciatica?

It could be, I don't know anything about sciatica apart from that it's to do with the back and I dont have any back pain? I'll have a Google though thanks

Sounds like sciatica, worth going to the doctors to see if they can give you something to help relieve the burning feeling.

Hope your better soon Flowers xxx

Thank you AhhhABaby. I'm glad I asked, I wouldn't have pinpointed it to sciatica
