Q: Warm water going down leg

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 1st, 2009

What could be causing the warm water going down my leg ? Is ti related to my surgery, which was on october 8th 2007. And is the incontinance from the same things ? The injury i have is a worker comp case. So if I should see my neurologist again. I have to get my lawyers to tell the judge we need to reopen the case instead of settling. So its a long process. I got injured september 12 2006 i didnt get my surgery until over a year later. And I feel like I am getting worse. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The symptoms you reported (pinching in buttocks, feeling of warm water going down the leg might be related to the condition of the ischiadic nerve. The incontinence, in some cases, might be related to damage to the pelvic nerves that are responsible for holding the urine. As this is not always the case, you might want to have a check-up with your neurologist and have him completely analyze your health condition regarding to the previously mentioned symptoms.
