Hello:
Posted this some time back, but never received any answers. Will do again, and hopefully someone
might have some thoughts on this; would really appreciate it.
Really weird, and have no idea what it might be.
Am 67, and am in good health. The following first started about three months ago.
On one leg only, in the side frontal area between knee and ankle, (nowhere near calf), if I "move
the skin around a bit, I get an incredible "burning" sensation. Very painful.
Perhaps a 4" x 4" area that reacts this way.
No indication on skin surface of anything unusual, no prominent veins, blotches, etc. Skin looks
healthy, and like all other areas. No problem with knee or ankle. Not at any bone, or knee area.
Happens a lot at night, when sheet initially prevents, and hold back momentarily, the skin in that
area from moving when turning over.
Pain seems to be slightly below surface, but close to surface. Absolutely not on surface.
Just scratching, poking, or rubbing surface does nothing; really have to move the skin a bit (shear
type movement necessary). After movement, pain goes away almost immediately
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Any other web sites, or newsgroups that this might be worth posting to or looking at ?
Thanks, Bob
