Sharp pain inner thighs

[Nelllie]

The pain I experience is usually in my left inner thigh but last week it was in both of my inner thighs.  The pain is a slicing excruciating pain that is horrible.   I have had three children so I know what pain is, but this is horrible pain.  It feels like someone is stabbing me.

It doesn't happen very often and I have experienced this pain for the past several years.   I am 58 years old, I am 5'8" and weigh 165 lbs.  I exercise frequently and am in good health. The only medication I take is celebrex for arthritus, estratest, and synthoid.  

I have been to a back doctor, a neurologist and no one seems to be able to find the cause.  Every time it happens it scares me to death.  There is absolutely no pain or soreness after the pain ceases.  It usually doesn't last over 5 minutes.  But five minutes of horrible pain is enough!

Any ideas?  Any remedies?  Help!  Nelllie

Oh my goodness!  This is me.  Did they ever find out what was wrong?  I've been in pain for 4 weeks.  A steroid shot an naproxen 500 help, but like you I wake up in so much pain because the naproxen doesn't last all night.  I'm scheduled for an MRI on Monday.  The doctor seems to think it is lower back nerve pain.

You condition sounds like me speaking! Seriously! Love your sense of humor btw;
Did you ever find out exactly what was wrong? I'm seeing a Neurologist the first week of May. For once, I'm glad to be going to a doctor. As in comparison to you, I too, dread the whole car experience.
Thanks! girliegirl2012

I have been having leg cramps alot lately, I just woke up knowing one was coming it spread up the inside of one leg and then down the other to cramp my foot.  Standing always stops the pain, not this time.  It was the area that you feel when doing a wide leg stretch on the floor.  Scared me so bad I hobbled to the computer to try and find out what it is.

I had pain in the inner thigh and thought I'd cracked something but the doc seems to think it's Osteoarthritis. Maybe this is what is causing your pain!

I first experience this today, I had three separate attacks that lasted seconds, the pain nearly floored me, iv been sick with plursey last year, this is very fast and out of no where. I googled it and can't believe that no one medical seems to have an answer. I feel it is something to do with nerves. I have slight curve on bottom of my spine, which might have something to do with it. My iron is 10.3 few weeks ago I got burning sensation in my right foot, like a pin been prickly in that area, then I got it in exact same area of my left foot, tiny as pin hole. Both pin areas spread, my feet very sore, I didn't go to Dr about that, I had been so many times,the plursey, throat infection, my body broke out in rash, everywhere bar my hands, feet, face. Then got virus in my joints, still have that, and part of lung from plursey still agony.iv great chiropractor I go to that helped me after the plursey, I was in agnony by lowering my body, first I think I should go back to her, as lot posts iv read says DR's don't have answers to this flash pain.

Sounds very similar to mine. Did you ever see a doctor. Mine will last for 10-20 minutes, as well. Just when you think it will start to subside, and you get a breath, it come back on. It gets scary to even go to bed. Any answers?
