My lower legs (shins and calfs) daily feel hot and 'buzzy' at various times (for lack of a better description). Anyone know if this is a common side effect of Oral Steroids or other Asthma Meds? Alternatively, anyone familiar with this odd sensation in their lower legs and know what might cause it? (Thanks in anticipation).

Tell your GP. You don't want it to turn out to be a clot or anything serious. It probably isn't at all, but you need to get it checked.
I get this sometimes (not related to oral steroids though). I always think it feels like a blood clot, but I've been to the doctors with it. Luckily, it's not a clot. Don't remember exactly what the reason was, but I was told to eat more potassium. It's muscular, apparently. Taking a paraceptomol makes the feeling go away.
Cheers
