Strange Pain on Thigh

I have pain deeper in the thigh which is actually a pinched nerve from my lower back which is relieved by chiropractic. My skin is also ultra sensitive, sometimes just from wearing jeans that rub the wrong way, and I am right handed so my whole right side is a bit bigger and the right pant leg can chafe when the left does not. Sometimes just from sleeping on the side and having my underwear pull against my groin. I always wear my underwear inside out to have the seams not against my skin. I would wait another few days but then talk to a doctor.

I had that from my stomach down to my knees. Same exact thing you are describing. Went to the E.R. and they gave me some steroids. After the second day of taking it, I was feelin so much better. It wasn't all the way gone, but I could tolerate wearin clothes. Go see your doctor as soon as possible. It could be a number of things. It just sounds like what I went through. Hope you feel better soon! Keep us updated!

It's awfully hard to be specific, K.. I've had transient pain like you describe, and I've always assumed it was just that I have extremely sensitive skin. But because this in on your thigh, if it persists, I'd have a doctor check it and rule out a serious problem like a blood clot.

My first thought is the onset of shingles. I would get it checked out and becareful, it is contagious.

It sounds like the start of shingles - which can last for up to 5 weeks! But if you get on the antibiotic within the 1st 72 hours, the pain is diminished. I would get to a doctor ASAP. Good luck!!

The 2 things that come to my mind are yeast, easily solved with OTC ointment, and a blood clot, which is serious and needs to be checked out at once. If you're on the pill, that's a possibility. They can do a doppler test, I think, to check on that.

Google Tactile Allodynia. It is basically a painful sensation from not normally painful stimuli such as brushing against cloithing. It is usually neurologically based. So it could be nerve pain. Do you have a back or neck injury??

it could potentially be cellulitis... but.. i'm not a doctor so take what i say with a grain of salt. good luck finding it out. if its bothering you, you could always consult your dr about it.
