right thigh pain,burnig, numbness

[kg221]

Hello,

   I've benn having burning, numbness, itching, and at time severe pain in my right thigh.  The pain is like a red hot needle going into my leg disabeling me.  Upon checking reference sites, the symptoms are consistant with RSD, but of course my doctor yelled at me and said it is not RSD.  I had an MRI done to my spine, and there is evidence of a small bulge which impinges upon the anterior aspect of the thecal sac.  Could this be causing my symptoms?  If so how is that proved?  Also there are three small disc herniations in the thoracic section of my back and I have yet to receive the Cervical diagonsis report.  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

I don't have much information but  I have been going through a lot of what you just described for the past two months... including the sinus pressure... I thought I was going insane trying to figure out how the two even relate. I had a CT, MRI, blood work and everything done... They can't tell me anything except I seem healthy & don't know what else could be going on. They also ruled out MS & ALS... I just wanted you to know you are not alone :)

Hi all,

I recently had a car crash accident at a T - junction where my vechile rolled several times after a driver didn't see me and continued to turn into my direction. I had a week stint in hospital and have been diagnosed with ligament damage in my neck at C7 back fractures at T1, T2 and T3. I currently have a full back and neck brace on for approx. 8 weeks to aid the fracture healing, and wow boy is it a pain in the backside!!!! But I know how great full I am to be here and alive because it was so close, the family still can't believe how I got out of the mess I was in!! I told the nurses initially in hospital about the strange numbness feeling in my right thigh and they attributed it to the injections and didn't say much about it at all. The area of numbness has gotten larger but still localized to my right thigh more around the lateral region and just above the knee. I am booked in to see a neurologist this coming Wednesday and can't wait because I hate the numbness pain and burning sensation in the area.

Does any one have any ideas as to help ease the numbness pain especially when sleeping. I really hope it is a simple fix and will go away soon because really in addition to my other injuries it's not ideal. I appreciate any advise that anyone can give me as I have never really hurt myself before. I must say how lucky though I know I am to still have the use of both my legs and arms. Blessed. :)

I have the same problem.  Today was my worst day as of yet.  I was with my father getting his groceries and of course was experiencing the pain, numbness, burning and feeling of a hundred needles piercing my upper right leg.  it calmed when I got into his van until it was time to get out.  As I stepped onto that leg it felt like it was on fire and someone was actually stabbing my leg over and over again.I was yelling out because of this severe pain and it is now starting to really scare me.  This started about 5 years ago, until the day I slipped on ice and feel forward and broke my shoulder.  The pain and numbness stopped immediately and never started again until I got bronchitis really bad.about 8 months later.  It seemed the severe coughing brought it all back and as I mentioned seems to be getting worse week by week.  I suffer with lower back pain and burning , sometimes aching, feet along with this.  Any suggestions as to where I can start to try to correct this or what may be causing it?

Hi everyone, I am 65 and about 6 months to a year ago, I got this cool sensation , just above my left knee for about 6 inches and about 6 inches wide and it turned into a slight numbness.  About 1 month ago while at work, which I stand for 7 hours, my numb area became warm and grew in intense heat, I put my hand down on my leg and it was normal feel, I couldn't feel the heat, but I felt it under the skin.  With that I know have the heat, numbness, feeling of 1000 bee's stinging, itching and at time a single jab of pain to the area that will make you yell out..  The Doctors (2) told me it was a pinch nerve coming from my back and the other Doctor said it was a  pinch nerve in my hip area due to excess weight.  No X-rays, No MRI's just of the shoulder theory.  I am to take Tylenol for relief. DOES NOT HELP AT ALL.  Any idea's of what I can do for relief .  Oh ya if I put cool pack on it and when remove it feels like someone is stabbing me in the leg.

I have the exact symptoms just as you described including the weak stream. I have had a series of 3 shots in the lower lombar, which I would say had no positive affect at all. All the doctors in Kansas City want to operate, and I wasn't even told about the shots as an alternative possible remedy, as they wanted to jump into an operation immediately. I am not ready for an explority operation, and it would seem that with so many people having the same symptoms, that doctors would have the remedy by now. I don't think they even know what the cure is. Why can't they get to the cause instead of the symptom? HEY DOC, I KNOW WHAT THE SYMPTOMS ARE--DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THE CURE IS??

Omg,  I have the same thing, just to touch my leg hurts so bad! I have MS but was told it's not from that. I hope we find the cause.
