What Causes A Warm Sensation On Upper And Lower Legs?

For the past two weeks, I have had weird intermittent warm sensations in my upper and lower legs on both sides. The sensation is like there is a low-level heat source inside my muscles, and my skin is not warm to the touch. It is not burning or painful, just noticeably warm. I have recently begun an aggressive hiking program in advance of a 10-day backpacking trip this summer, and symptoms started after a particularly difficult hike - but I am in good shape, do cross-fit and endurance workouts regularly, and generally recover quickly from workouts.

HI
Well come to HCM
Some time this could be due to deposition of lactic acid and this might be happening because of work out, try some soda water for this, drink more water, maintain good posture at the time of exercise poor angle may cause never compression and this could give such symptoms, take care and have a nice day.
