Cold/Wet Feeling on an area on my leg

[MeggyE]

I have no idea where to post this question of mine.  

Often times I have found myself trying to dry off my left leg below the knee because I thought I felt my leg get wet.  It is so annoying!!! There is nothing I could see on my leg and every brush I do, my hand ends up being dry, not wet.  What could be the possible cause of this???

I thought about posting in the Neurology forum as well as skin-ology.  I thought it might be possible it had something to do with nerves in my leg that's causing this wet feeling.

Thanks,

Me

In my case and without seeing a neurologist I suspect I may have lumbar spinal stenosis. 5'8" 47 female w/o medical issues. About 15 years ago started feeling pins and needles in both arms. X-Rays showed cervical curve reversed lordosis (not related to symptoms to the best of my knowledge), MRI test results were inconclusive, nerve conduction study with normal results. Time went by, now I'm overweight at 190 lbs. and for the past year with constant lower back pain that only seems to be mitigated by bending over. Also very light bladder/bowel incontinence issues (when sneezing, coughing) and since about 3 weeks ago a water trickling sensation just behind my right knee. Action plan: loose weight, mild exercises to strengthen back muscles and closely watch for evolution of existing/new symptoms that could rule out my suspicions. Surgery: not worth it. Diagnosis: only if changes in symptoms point to something else other than stenosis.

Did you ever find anything out about the wet behind your leg.  You said you were going to have an MRI to check it out.  I guess this is pretty common and we don't know what to do about it.

Me too.  a neurologist checked my nerves in my legs and said I had restless leg syndrome.  How can that be the cause?

sorry it auto corrected. It should say Arnold chiari malformation

Have you researched possibly having an Arnold chairing malformation?  And/or syringomyilia?

I have had a cold right lower leg chin area for two weeks, I have been through a lot in the last year leaky gut, allergies, paracites, Mercury fillings removed, moved to cold climate, auto immune disease flare up, ect ect.....it is a weird feeling it would be interesting to hear from people that wrote originally to see if it just went away? I see a Natropath and haven't told him yet but I will and I am interested to see what he says. it could be a lack of peripheral blood to that leg? I've had referred nerve pain in my knee before but that feels more like burning, most problems I have I research more myself, this blog was the first place I found, with no clear diffinition, other than get an MRI. It is not as easy as running off for an MRI though. This is a generalised statement but....When you don't have a physical ailment doctors can be a little sceptical, just from my past year worth of problems.
