Question : I feel like a current is running up and down my thigh . What could be causing this?
Brief Answer:
For how long has this pain? Any pains?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I will like to know for how long you have been experiencing this symptom. Also, are there any other worries such as pain, difficulty to move, etc. Is this provoked or aggravated by any other factor?
If this is a recent observation, most are transient and in no way represent a disease condition. Resolution is often spontaneous and complete.
If this has been for a while, response to the above questions will help me establish if this is a nerve related pain or caused by strained muscles/soft tissues.
I look forward hearing from you before making more conclusive statements on the way forward.
