I have factor IV deficienty. Therefore I am always cold. Consequently, I have a spaceheater at my job and constantly warm up my legs with it every single day. What damage am I causing that could be a side effect of this heat to my legs?

I don't believe it would be a problem.

I too would heat my legs up at work as it was always cold...that is until I moved to a different office and blew the circuit...so no more heater for me.

If you are worried about the heater; would a small blanket work as well for you?
