Members confirmed experiencing similar pain at the top of the thighs radiating to the groin and inner legs, with several describing it as a pulling sensation in the muscles that sometimes spreads to the hips. Possible explanations shared included sacroiliac joint issues, uterine cysts that worsen during menstruation, and general fibromyalgia pain patterns, with members finding relief through heating pads, Tylenol, Aspercreme with lidocaine, and prescription medications like Ultram and Neurontin. A recurring theme was the importance of advocating for proper medical evaluation of new symptoms rather than assuming everything is fibromyalgia-related, especially when pain causes concern or differs from usual patterns.

Please, if something causes you concern then you should discuss it with a Doctor. Too many professionals once they know you have a chronic illness will blame it as the cause of anything new. So please, resist giving into them. If you are concerned about, it deserves to be properly evaluated.. {{HUGS}}

Yes, I get them, mostly in my left, sometimes in my right, in the thigh, radiating in and down, throbbing. It usually coincides with my period/cramps, though not always. I was told I have uterine cysts, and they could be causing them. Heating pad and laying on my side, tylenol helps.

Yes, I get terrible thigh pain that goes to my hips and around the upper thighs. It feels like someone/something is trying to pull the muscles apart!
