Pain on the front of both thighs...skin sensitive to touch..what is it?

Question

In the past two to three weeks, I've had this pain on the front of both thighs. My skin is extremely sensitive there and the slightest touch is very painful. It seems to get worse as the day goes on and then is better when I get up in the morning. It was on both thighs but now seems to be bad only on the left. Any ideas what this could be??

Answer 1

Pain of this type is almost always due to irritation, inflammation, or infection (often viral) of a cutaneous nerve (a nerve which supplies the skin). If the cause of the problem is viral a typical course is from 2 to 6 weeks and if it is present past 8 weeks the nerve infection has most likely (but not always) caused permanent harm. It sounds as if this is bothersome enough that you may wish to see a physician as there is quite a bit that may be done to alleviate neurogenic pain.

There is a simple, cheap solution to various painful mouth problems. Use this while you wait to get X rays and be examined by your Dentist. Forty years ago my roommate and I stood our toothbrushes in the same Glass. I got a sore throat and at the Dentist I learned that I had Strep. So we both got the Strep. He prescribed using HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. It is very inexpensive. Your drug store has it on the bottom shelf next to alcohol, usually. It is about $1.00 a quart. I brush with it most mornings, so it will get under the edge of your gums to Heal right down to the roots, but, swish and mouthwash with it daily. Several times if you have a specific problem that you are trying to heal. I was born into a family with only fair teeth, but with the use of HRODROGEN PEROXIDE for 40 years, I have very healthy gums. It bubbles infection up and out of the tissue. It heals your gums after flossing if they are tender and does a great job on canker sores or fever blisters. The stuff works great. It is recommended at a mouthwash on the bottle, my Doctors use it in their offices, so I KNOW IT IS SAFE. Many people think it is not safe in your mouth, but they are just plain wrong. Don’t swallow, as it tastes weird. I certainly hope this will help you with your problem in a simple, inexpensive way. Doctors are a real necessity, but there are actually many simple solutions that do not require going to the Doctor. I do not think you would feel pain in th front teeth from the wisdom teeth, that would effect the molars. Good Luck.

I have the exact same pain on my right thigh. It is very painful and sometimes feels like pins and needles when me or someone else touches it. Unfortunately, I have had 2 lower spine surgeries, and most of the doctors believe mine is permanent nerve damage. Some pain meds and anti-inflammatories help if it is relatively minor, and a friend told me a chiropractor helped his by manipulating his spine which "might" have unpinched a nerve.
I know there are many strong opinions about chiropractors, so I will let you make that decision. However, do see your regular doctor to see what he thinks. He may send you to a specialist to check the nerves in your legs.
