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

VITAMINS!

After occasional attacks and then the most excruciating half-hour of agony I've ever had, I came across this forum, and skim-read a few comments that mentioned vitamins.

I've just started taking multivitamins and the problem has gone!

If it comes back then I'll let you know, but right now the very simple solution of taking multivits has sorted the problem.

Four months so far with no reoccurence. Yay Multivitamins!

I am both happy and sad to stumble onto this thread. I started having these severe pain attacks in my right thigh. I have NO idea when it's going to happen (actually most times I get a threatening whisper of the pain to come) I scream from shock and the pain. The pain is only what I can imagine being branded would feel like, but the burning comes from within my front thigh. I'm kinda embarrassed, but at the time the attacks started happening I was HARD CORE into the world of ADULT COLORING. I would try to limit my time sitting cuz I have lower back issues already and sitting is the worst for flairing the problem. But those pictures were addictive and I would be dying once I looked at the clock and calculated how many hours I sat hunched over my kitchen table. When the attacks first began it was during the night. 10 seconds felt like 10 minutes. I had bloodwork taken. I was told I was defienct in potassium, magnesium and B12. I threw my pencil crayons in a junk drawer and was TOTALLY willing to give it up in return for no more attacks. I realized how much I braced the right side of my body to color tiny intricate shapes by the millions. I am right handed and so I brace my right leg to support my right arm. I wondered if I colored with my left arm and sat supporting my left side in equal proportion to coloring with my right hand if it would have fixed me. I didn't give a damn. I started taking magnesium and B12 and starting eating bananas like a monkey. Wouldn't you know it? I was so lucky to find the solution. Pain free for about 4 months. Then slowly, gradually they began attacking me again, only now it was when I had no choice but to sit down. Sitting down is as good as a guarantee that I have a dose of pain waiting for me. Then they started back at night. 2 nights ago I felt like I was timing contractions. They usually last 20 seconds TOPS, but I am single and I live alone and I was terrified it had to be a blood clot trying to move inside my thigh. The excruciating searing stabbing laser pain is me for those seconds and when I think Is This It? The pain isn't going to just vanish this time? I would surely die if that were to happen, but I panic and it feels like an eternity. I am afraid to drive. I have just been taking aspirin. I haven't taken any of the vitamins. I stopped cuz I believed the stress of sudden 8 hour coloring sessions were the culprit. I made a doctor's appointment, but it's not til July 12th. In the meantime I am wondering if I should start that regimen again - but I would like to see if my levels are defunct again. Also I have had success in the past with a physiotherapist. I am going to book myself to see him and get his opinion. I have much more faith in his ability than I do my GP. My heart goes out to everyone that told their story. I wish we could all hold one another's hand when seized in pain. I wish I had someone to tell me the pain is going to stop when I start thinking chronic pain is going to swallow me. Good luck EVERYONE. Peace & love.

Hi, all! I'm 33 yo, 112-lbs, 5'2'', female.

The first time the stabbing pain hit me was when I was at lunch with friends (18 days ago, 09 June 2017). It was a very sudden, and extremely excruciating pain (I couldn't breathe!). It was came as a shock (both literally and figuratively) when it happened as I had never experienced it before. I was confused.

Yes, like what most who shared here have experienced, the "stab" lasts around 10-20s, after which there are no residual pains whatsoever... as if everything's back to normal.

I have kept a "diary" for whenever it strikes. I jot down the day, time of day, estimated pain duration, and what I was doing when it attacked. It is becoming more and more frequent, unfortunately.

9 June, lunch, sitting position, ~15s
17 June, sitting position, ~15s
19 June, 3pm, lying in bed, ~15s
23 June, dinner, sitting position, ~15s
24 June, 9am, sitting position, ~15s
24 June, 5:25pm, lying in bed, ~10s
25 June, 5:30am, woke up from sleep, ~20s
25 June, late afternoon, lying in bed, ~20s
26 June, 3:30pm, walking(!), ~10s
26 June, 7:30pm, sitting and getting back massage, ~10s
27 June, 1 hour ago ~3:15AM, woke up from sleep, ~10s

As you can see, the frequency has been increasing. I'm a little afraid to go back to sleep now (but I have to).

Based on the comments, I want to try water therapy first and have my potassium level checked.

I have Transverse Mylitis. I also am having the same type pains. My Neurologist said it was the nerves in my leg regenerating themselves.

I have Transverse Mylitis and I have the same type of pains in my inner right thigh. My doctor says it is caused by my nerves regenerating themselves.

Guys, I think I figured it out. Although it has only been 2 days. I would have these attacks only a few days a week, then recently at least 2 times a day, but sometimes more. I had this parasite zapper, that I tried when I was trying to get pregnant. We had tried for almost a year. Put that thing on and I got pregnant right away. I didn't want to use it while pregnant (wish I would have), but I really didn't know anything about it or what it was really doing.

So I packed it away. I found it recently and thought I would give it a try. I didn't have a bowel movement for a few days. I just thought it was because I wasn't eating much. I decided to do a diluted Apple Cider Vinegar enema, and it was so hard, I put the gloves on an examined it. I'm weird like that. Well, there were tons of parasites. My energy went through the roof right away and the leg pain went away. It's only been a week, since I did the parasite zapper, but I am thinking this is the solution. I am just learning all the stuff behind it, so I will post again once I do. But I just feel bad for all you guys. I put the device on my child's foot while she slept, and the next day she had dead parasites in her stool.

I am also putting the device on the area where the pain was, because it says it can neutralize damaged tissue. Because I do believe what most of us are describing is the nerve entrapment thing. And it's scary. I was worried this might happen when driving. So anyway, pick up this little device. It's only $35. Just Google "Basic Zapper". I got the cheapest one and it works fine. I think the company is CT busters, is the one I ordered from.

Let me know if you guys have any success with this. I would love to see if this helps others. I think I'm going to buy them in bulk and sell to my community. It's so fun to be able to cure something so scary and unknown, that even doctors are baffled by. Love an light to everyone!!
