Sizzling burning feeling down outside of thigh

Post by lindsayg »

Hi All,
I have experienced horrible vaginal burning for 4 years now. In June of 2012, I was diagnosed by Dr. Hibner with PN. I have had 3 pudendal nerve blocks. 3 months ago Dr. Hibner gave me vaginal Botox. It has helped considerably. However, this week, I am experiencing a new source of pain. I have a sizzling burning pain running down on the outside of my thigh. Has anyone ever had this before? I'm not sure if its related or not. I am currently out of the country and need some guidance. I won't be back in the states and able to call Dr. Hibner for another 3 weeks. Help!

It might be something to do with the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve Lindsay.

Here's a good article on meralgia paresthetica. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1141848-overview
Amanda posted that she has it -- you could send her a PM. Does ice help at all?

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
