I've been feeling this strange warm sensation running down the outside of my left leg, and it's only started happening recently. It's kind of worrying me a bit. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it just one of those weird things that comes and goes? Any advice would be really appreciated.

The warm water sensation running down the outside of your left leg could be due to various reasons such as nerve irritation, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or even a harmless condition like meralgia paresthetica, which is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and it's recommended to consult a neurophysician to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Can I take melatonin to help me sleep if I'm already prescribed a 25 mg amitriptyline pill daily to reduce my headache frequency? I'm just worried if there's any interaction or issues mixing the two.

Melatonin and amitryptiline has a potential for interaction so it should be used very carefully as they both increase sedation and drowsiness. The medications should not be had unless directed by your treating doctor. If you develop any problem visit the ER at the earliest.
