That happened to me quite recently and it lasted for several months.  I
thought for sure that t had to be one of two things... my spine or my
hemorrhoids.  Come to find out... there was a tiny pressure sore just
underneath my right foot on the right side (near my pinky toe) but not
visible to either my home health aide (even when she was washing my feet) or
my husband who can usually see and keeps an eye on me for skin problems all
the time.  It was just a quite hidden location so it was overlooked.

*I knew something was wrong* but I had no idea what it could be.  And it
would do just what you said.  Sometimes it would only last for five minutes
and I would have the terrible clammy sweats on the left side of my body up
by my shoulder blade and back-- and the goosebumps.  Other times it would
last for an hour.  And some days it did not happen at all.  Crazy!  One
would think that if it hurt... it would get worse during the day.  But
nope... it got better as the day wore on.  Nuts!

Sometimes it's the least thing you would expect so I have no idea what to
tell you since it took us months and someone to sit *in the very place where
they could see my little pressure sore directly.*  So I had to go without my
right shoe for a couple of months or more and all the symptoms went away.
