burning sensation in outside upper thigh

Posted by tinytim

I have a burning sensation on the outside of my upper thigh from the top of my thigh to just past my knee the pain at times is unbearable i feel like screaming as it's like it is on fire, is there anything that i can use on it to stop the burning sensation even for a few hours as the pain is constant have told the doc all he says it will get better in 2 weeks but that was 2 months ago and the pain is getting worse not better but the doc is not interested in helping me any more.
Thanks Tim

I have the burning sensation on my left leg from just below the hip to the knee. It feels like someone is putting a match on it and it heats up. I do have fibromyalgia but have never had this before . It seems to burn when i am on my feet and walking otherwise it just hurts to touch like a bruise

I as well have something similar with my left thigh just above the knee. It will go numb at times when I'm standing to long and it will start to feel like it's burning if I'm standing longer then a hour at times. the numbness has gradually been coming on for years now, but the burning sensation has come to be with in the last few yeas. I've asked my doctor about it a while back and he advise me to loose weight. So I did I got rid of that doctor and is now looking for a new one!
