I'm experiencing nerve pain in both inner thighs (shooting pain, burning, tingling, feeling of cold water on part of my leg and knee). This has been going on for 5 weeks. Whenever I move around the house it gets worse. Mainly a burning sensation when sitting.
3 weeks prior to the onset of nerve pain, had lower back problems. Have had an mri as they suspected cauda equina 4 weeks ago. 2 slight bulges but no nerve compression. And also the area of the disc bulges doesn't relate to inner thigh area.
Ibuprofen & paracetemol not doing anything.
Saw a physio last week who said it could be something pelvic related that is compressing my obturator nerve? Given me some gentle stretches but pain is very bad today.
My anxiety is off the scale which is obviously not helping anything (I have health anxiety anyway so ongoing nerve pain is making me really lose the plot). 5 weeks into this and feeling desperate.
Anyone else had similar symptoms. I just need to know what is causing this, considering paying to see a neurologist for more tests..
