I have meralgia parasthetica in my left thigh. Tonight I had pain in both thighs. I ended up having to sit an actually punch and massage the quads. After a while the pain subsided. Anyone else have to do this?

I have severe front thigh pain. Did you get any diagnosis other than fibro for your pain in your legs?
