Thigh problems

[angelikjan]

Hi everyone can I pick your brains please. I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, chronic back pain and depression to name but a few of my problems!

It doesn't happen that often but I get a feeling of numbness/tingling kind of sensation in my left thigh. Does anyone else have this. Any help be gratefully accepted

Thanks

Janet

Hello Janet, some months back my rheumo doc examined my legs and hips, he had me lay down, knees drawnup together and he pushed my hips from side to side-testing for Bursitis he said, I didn't wince at all so I assume that's something I don't add to my list, maybe ask gp about this condition it seems common with fibro

Hi Janet..I too have Fibro..and osteoarthritis in lower spine..I was just complaining the other day because since November 2016 my right leg and now arm has pins and needles..if I try to stand or walk too far..terrible pain in back..numbness of right leg and foot goes stone cold...my rheumatologist said to keep up with exercise and the spine specialist said it has nothing to do with the spine..I am none the wiser and can't really help but to let you know you're not alone. Gentle exercise..Pilates and pool exercise I do...don't forget to rest..good luck😊

Hi

The for your reply. I used to wake up every morning with dead arms and would often have pins and needles to. My gp sent me for nerve induction tests and it turned out that I had carpel tunnel syndrome in both wrists. I had both operated on, not together, and since then I've not had that problem

So maybe worth asking your gp for a referral.

Good lucX

Hi angelikjan

I am so truly sorry to read this my friend, and the *MayoClinic says:

*Pressure on the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which supplies sensation to your upper thigh, might cause these symptoms of meralgia paresthetica: Tingling and numbness in the outer (lateral) part of your thigh. Burning pain on the surface of the outer part of your thigh.23 Feb 2017

**WebMD then goes on to say:

**For mild cases, your doctor may recommend:

Heat, ice, or taking over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, acetaminophen, naproxen, or ibuprofen for a few days.

Weight loss.

Wearing loose-fitting clothing, especially around your upper front hip.

Physical therapy for a hip injury or to strengthen your leg muscles or abs.

I am not a doctor so I cannot say for sure this is what is happening for you my friend. I would discuss it with your GP or medical specialist to get a definite diagnosis.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
