[quote=Anonymous]I have milder intermittent pain in my right thigh, no where else. In my case it feels exactly like a bee sting. In fact the first time it hit it came on suddenly while I was driving and I kept swiping at my leg and then ran into the bathroom to see if I could get the stinger out. In contrast a few months ago I was stung on the opposite thigh and all I thought was "shoot, not this one too?". It wasn't until hours later when I got home, took off my pants to go to the bathroom and saw the welt and the hole from the stinger that I realized it really was a sting. Anyway, I did some investigating with "Dr. Google" and believe I have sciatica. Basically, sciatica is a pinched nerve in your buttocks. Although the nerve is in your buttocks, it runs down to your thigh and your body interprets the pain as being in your thigh. The pain came come from muscle tightness, in which case it seems more likely to come and go. This is what I believe I have, which is somewhat confirmed because when I go on youtube and copy the "sciatica stretches" there it helps. In contrast, I read that if the pain in constant and more severe it's more likely to be a bulging disk or something else pressing on the nerve. Have they done an MRI of her back and butt or just of her leg. [/quote]
