What Is The Reason For Chill In One Leg And Not The Other Or Not In Any Other Part Of The Body?

Hi Lost,

Hope you are well today.  

I suppose that it can be an alert for something that is not quite right.

I'm really not sure other than the circulation/blood flow reply by nomad why one leg would be colder than the other.  

I've dealt with this issue since I was told I had probable MS in 1988 and attribute it to the fact that I cannot use my left leg as adeptly as my right.  I live with it, keeping a blanket near just in case!!  LOL.

Have a WONDERFUL day!!

Hi Lost, I have to agree with Nomad concerning circulation. It could be that you have developed a blood flow problem in a vein.
I wish there were a nurse on-site today. They would be better qualified to answer your question.
If it persists though, maybe you need to have it checked out.
Do you have any other symptoms, such as aching or pain in the leg?
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I do believe the consensus is:  we all agree with nomad's answer my dear.

Thank you for sharing your question/concern with me, but anyone could give you their educated guess. When it comes to health issues, you should probably be discussing it with your doctor.

Something is stopping the blood flow from moving through your leg properly.  I would call the doctor and advise him of your symptoms right away...if you don't have a family doctor, go to an urgent care clinic so they can do some testing...It may not be serious, but you shouldn't take any chances.  Let us all know because we care about you.

Hmmm, I think this, coupled with the problem you had with your hand before... Your body is trying to tell you something.  I'm betting it has to do with blood circulation/heart.  I really think you should see a cardiologist... Or at least your regular doctor and then go from there.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
I hope you are feeling some better.

It can be several things from blood circulation, blood clot, or even a nerve problem, bottom line is the best thing to do is go see a doctor.

Hi honey you need to see your gp for an mot, i have one every year with the nurse better safe than sorry take care

All i can think of is bad-circulation in that one leg......get it checked out soon.........to make sure there's no blod-clotting in your leg........your in my prayers........

There are several different factors to my understanding. First, Yes Circulation! Like when your leg falls asleep? Sometimes a person can barley walk. The circulation is impeded somehow. A more serious possibility is also a blood-clot. This is a very dangerous situation and many people do die from it as the blood-clot can break loose and go to the heart of head and do the same thing in these vital areas resulting in a quick death! Then there are the issues in between. If it is persistent you should probably see a doctor for an evaluation just to play it safe. The same can happen to your entire left side or your left arm, leg anywhere on your left side that become numb and achy is sometime a very real warning sign of heart trouble, clogged arteries and other related issues that all need a physician to diagnose and treat.

Lack of circulation/blood flow to the leg. Or the leg is more sensitive to cold than the other leg.

I have the exact same thing, and have been scouring the net to find out why. It has been happening for 2 days only on the left thigh. It is not because of cold. It happens without control or pattern.
