My right leg (right side of front of my
lower leg) feels hot at times.
Really not sure of another way to describe
it. Its been happening for a week now.
I get a distinct hot feeling inside my leg
(sort of just under the skin) - might be
muscular but I'm not sure...
Is this common or anything to worry
about?

A hot feeling from the leg without any
other symptom (pain, skin redness,
swelling…), at your age in the late
20's, indicates nothing serious. You could
be experiencing anxiety, for example.
Nonetheless, you can visit your GP or
family doctor to exclude some possible
organic reason for the hot feeling
(enlarged superficial veins, skin
inflammation, neuralgia etc.).
