Suggest Remedy For Prickly Feeling On The Back Of Thigh
I just noticed tonight...I felt a prickly feeling on the back of my left thigh..to the point I thought a bee or something was in my pants..then I felt a prickly feel behind my thigh, near the knee joint when I squatted down. Just wondered what that could be..I have also been a bit more tired in the past week, gas/bloated feeling, a mild dizziness/nausea after eating. I thought it was gastritis or something.

Hi..
welcome to healthcaremagic.com and myself Dr. Atishay Bukharia would be answering your questions..
there are two main reason for that prickly feeling first is meralgia paresthetica and second is vitamin B12 deficiency. For meralgia paresthetica, capsaicin based ointment is the treatment of choice while in cases of vitamin b12 deficiency, vitamins b12 injection is needed to be given at frequent intervals..
