What Causes Sensation Of Water Droplets Splashing On Back Of The Leg?
What causes the sensation of water droplets splashing on the back of my leg as I am walking? As if I walked in a puddle and water flicked up and touched the lower calf? My leg is absolutely not wet; just a peculiar focal sensation. It lasts a couple of minutes and then stops. Duration: 2 weeks.

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve (probably caused by a bulging disk in the lumbar vertebral column).
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, a lumbar spine CT scan or MRI study.
Nerve conduction studies may be needed too. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
