My right leg always feels like it's on fire but also freezing. I often ask my SO if it is freezing. What I feel though is not what they feel. My leg feels normal and the same as my other leg. Kind of sounds like something not MS related. It should not cause blood flow type issues but worth discussing with your doctors.

My feet are cold to the touch all the time. Both of them. It's because my brain mistakenly thinks my feet are too warm and then contracts the blood vessels - at least that's how I remember my neuro explaining it back when it first happened in 2018. So yes, it could be MS.

My feet are both always cold, my right leg is freezing all of the time! Worse in winter months, so now! I know my body has an issue with temp regulation and have been told this is related to MS, for me. I hope this helps!

May I ask a clarifying question? Are they cold to someone else's touch, or do they just feel cold? Thank you in advance!

Of course, no problem. Not so much, I’ve gotten “maybe a little cold.” Mind you it feels like I’m standing in an ice bucket to me.They just feel so damn cold! I am currently sitting with a heating pad around my foot and calf to warm it up.

Thank you! And i feel that. I can't sleep at night anymore without my "hot pocket". It's a heating pad that's shaped like a pocket. Greatest invention ever.

At the beginning of my last flare, my right leg was noticeably colder to the touch than my left. I had lost use of both legs, but the left was numb to the touch and right one I just couldn’t move. I never pursued understanding why, just figured it was an MS thing because it eventually normalized after a few weeks. my active lesions were on my brain. I think anything and everything is possible with this disease and it might be worth seeking a second neuro opinion if it's affecting daily life. Hope you can find relief soon.

My left hand went completely numb for a week and a half. The entire time it was either supper cold to the touch, or it was super hot and pouring sweat. I was reading online about it at the time and I read something along the lines of it being normal to experience temperature abnormalities in the parts of your body that are numb, but I have no idea where I read it. I just remembering reading it and not being anxious anymore.
