Good evening, @allegheny. Hello! I just read your recent post and thought I might add an option to your attempts to control the pain in your thighs. I have been struggling with stabbing pain in my thighs for quite some time. The pain attacked one thigh at a time, especially when I got up in the morning or after an afternoon nap.
The only helpful process was directing my MFR (myofascial release) therapist to those areas at my twice-weekly sessions. What a relief! As my SFN became more of a burden, the problem in my thighs became rather frightening, especially when I was home alone. Then, I was introduced to the " balls." I will attach a photo from Amazon for you.
When I sense pain in my thigh, I place a ball underneath the area and lie quietly with my weight on the ball for about 15 = 20 minutes. After a couple of final rubs, I get up and get going.
It seems like the tightened muscle relaxes and becomes painless and supportive.
It just might be worth a try.
May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
The gabapentin does help, but I use it only when ibuprofen needs some help. I don’t want to be on either on a steady basis. Today is the second day I have no pain, without drugs. My pt thinks it might be my degenerative discs in my back. I was diagnosed with diabetes but my sugar is low and I don’t take anything. It’s a real enigma
