No. It seems to sit right on top of my thigh. No discomfort until clothes or a sheet, anything lightly touches it. If I press firmly, not so much. I should say, it's almost gone. The same things set it off, but it's hardly noticeable anymore. And I might also mention that the diagnosis came when I was visiting a surgeon about an unrelated matter which I thought was a related matter. He said they were not connected and what I had was mauralgia parasitica. So if that diagnosis is correct, so be it. At least it is something that I won't have to deal with for the rest of my life.
