A few days ago I started feeling fluid running down the side of my left calf muscle...it felt so real I pulled my jeans up to see if I was bleeding?! Nothing there. It happened twice earlier this week and again just now which prompted me to search for help...what is it? What’s happening to my leg and need I worry?!
Thank you

I always have a wet slipper on my left foot as I get blister s on my legs, so they burst and then it can take a week or more for it to stop leaking water. It's actually getting worse, but due to covid I just put up with it !
If you use the search option and look for ‘fluid feeling on limb’ you may find it’s mentioned several times on this site. If my iPad were working I would put up a link, but for some reason it’s on strike!If there is no visible fluid, then it may be the superficial nerve endings in the skin jangling. Some, not all, people find applying magnesium oil helps.
Hi - it depends on the underlying condition which could be the cause. In my case I have been diagnosed with adhesive arachnoiditis which presents similar to what you have but other issues too. Check arachnoiditishope.com
Not saying this is what you have but it may give you a pointer.
hello - yep recognise this not fluid running down my leg but the feeling that my shoe is full of water/fluid. Even have to check that my foot is actually dry. I'm recovering from some major surgery that took a 'graft' of tissues, bone and blood vessels from my lower leg. The wound is almost healed but the underlying nerve and tendon damage is taking time to mend - apparently time is a great healer ( try telling that to an impatient me!!)
Hi! Did you ever find out what it was? I have the same, it’s been a week and I’m going crazy. Inner lower leg (calf almost) feels extremely cold whatever I do. It’s like chills.
