wibbleway Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I have autonomic dysfunction that is getting more progressive. Along with that is POTS. The last few weeks off and on I've had severe pain in my right thigh from mid-way from the knee to the hip. It is like hot pokers are stabbing me when I move the leg or touch it. There is also numbness involved. With rest and quiet for a few days it calms down. Today is extremely painful and I feel so alone. Has anyone else had this problem. I've e-mailed Vanderbilt but not heard back. Thanks for any help.Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrach Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I had something similar not as bad when my symptoms first started though not as bad, I just tried to ignore and not border myself with...I have autonomic dysfunction that is getting more progressive.

wibbleway Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thank you! Today the nerve endings are so touchy that even touching my thigh and front groin area causes sharp stabs. It is awful. I do appreciate hearing from others though. It helps to know you are not alone. Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 do you or did you have a rash with it? I would call someone. Sound like a commer. but lydocane patches take the pain away. My side burned and it felt like it was tearing....I put one of those suckers on and felt better.

MiriamI did not have a rash with it but the tearing feeling describes the feeling exactly when I move or touch it. What is a commer? I've never heard of that.

labas_2u@shaw.ca Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Cathy I don't know if mine is similar but, I do get a sharp burning pain in my upper left thigh/groin area. It feels like I pulled a major muscle in there and it burns for a long time. Mine eases up with resting it too. If I rest it completely, it goes away, but, if I start moving around too soon...I'm back to square one Ack!Maggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have no idea what thatis!!!!!!!!!!! What I was thinking is it could be cellulitis or shingles, that would include some spine pain, it followa the course of the nerve on the same side. Do you have a temp?

goldicedance Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 You might have a small pinch in your abdomen. I got that after surgery. Sometimes nerves get irritated, particularly if you are not a Miss Twiggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
