So for a while I have been getting a weird drafty feeling on my left shin. It started whilst driving and I was convinced that it was the AC on the car. But now it is getting more prevalent. When I'm on the bike and during the day.

Anyone ever experienced these sort of phantom drafts.

Have you got a pair of those cargo pants that unzip into shorts, and the left leg has fallen off?

I thought about that at first, I was convinced it was either my AC or my trousers riding up. But now I'm getting it more.

It's not painful or anything. Just weird and disconcerting.

Trapped or bruised nerve? But not trapped enough to cause pins & needles or numbness, just a weird sensation on the skin. I have it now due to a slipped disc back in Nov last year. The nerves are still "bruised" apparently, and will take a few more months to settle down.

I get a similar thing from my right sciatic nerve ' s having been crushed/poisoned for ages at the root by a slipped disc. There's often the feeling that a fly is strolling about on my calf. I feel a bit stupid, brushing away non-existent flies!
