It's been going on about three years now since I've had this. I wadded pretty bad on my bike ( My CRF450 ) and swapped out in a set of whoops about 3rd gear pinned , and catapulted over the bars landing on the back of my head , neck and shoulders. I got knocked out for just a few seconds , but when I came too , my neck was killing me along with three broken ribs and over all felt really beat up.
I never did go to the doctor , although I almost did a few days later , but around day 3 my neck started feeling a little better. It's never really fully recovered. But since that wreck , on both of my legs I have a dead spot. More like just numb all the time but every once in a while it feels like it's on fire , itches deep down inside ( hard to explain ). My left leg on the muscle I have circled is mostly just numb all the time , and on my right leg is where the burning , itching feeling sensation I get. It's about 2 - 3" wide and about 12" long , and it's just that one muscle , on both legs.
The muscle that is doing it , is the one I have circled and underlined. Was wondering if any of you may have any weird issues like this , and what would be the cause of it? It isn't affecting me in every day life what so ever , but just extremely annoying at times.

Dr. Vital will be here shortly to see you.
The question for you, is the fire you are feeling gohst pains? Or are your nerve strands trying to heal and are firing off to make the connection.
You really need to see a specialist and see what is going on in there.

So this is similar to posterior sciatica. The spinal cord has areas that are related to pain and areas that are related to numbness. Therefore, if something is pressing (disc) on it, it depends where the irritation is in relation to contact area in the cord. So you could have numbness only, pain only or a combo of both.
I dont think it is damage, per se, to the anterior nerve portion of your thigh. More so further proximal. In other words, your spinal cord. Having all of that been said, it is nearly impossible to dx a medical issue on a forum. But by your description, I would suggest that you see a practitioner to look at your cervical area with xrays, MRI, etc. as this could be semi-serious like disc damage, fracture, or some combo therein.
I know this question sounds dumb but have you had any issues going to the bathroom (#1 and/or #2)?
I've been taking pain killers for years but they barely do anything anymore.
I hope you have better luck than what I've had..
I had pain and tingling in my middle/right upper back into my shoulder. Figured i had liver cancer and started to give away my Jofa collection. Doctor in late January diagnosed me with Thoracic Rediculopathy. There is a nerve in the middle of my back along my spine that is being rubbed. Though I dont have it, symptoms can include pain and numbness around the front of my core OR DOWN MY LEG.
He told me to go to physical therapy which I dont have time for right now and prescribed an antiinflamatory. I did go back to my chiropractor whom i havnt seen in a year and he knew what it was and he did an adjustment and made a big improvement but the pain is still there.
Basically, I need to get my back muscles in shape and work on my core or it wont get any better.
They've done xrays and MR's but cant find whats causing this. It may go away it may not. If anyone know how to speed it up hit me up lol
I got nerve damage in my hands from an IV, that was over 6 months ago and I still have some problems from it.
Find someone in your area and put those bees to work. I'm seeing my acupuncturist/BVT person Jessica tomorrow for my first float tank experience and will ask if she knows of practitioners in the NW. You are in Portland area correct?
"The area of BVT research that seems the most promising is with neuropathic pain. Bee venom induces pain and inflammation acutely. A number of studies show that it also decreases markers of pain and inflammation following the exposure. This can simply be the effect of compensatory mechanisms kicking in. We see this as a general phenomenon – after any stimulus that causes pain and inflammation the body mobilizes mechanisms to counteract the pain and inflammation and reestablish the normal baseline. This effect is also temporary. Perhaps, however, the duration of the decrease in pain and inflammation is longer than that induced acutely by the sting."

Jeff-I just texted Jessica and she said this guy is on Oregon but she didn't have contact information. Hopefully this link will provide a lead so you can track him down

Good luck!
Funny I waited years to have insurance again only to find a treatment that actually worked wasn't covered by insurance. All those tests were a waste of time and money in my experience but I'm not dismissing the value of them for most people.
I'm not sure if i want to spend any time on this right now due to my work schedule and it not bothering me all that much. But I'll have it looked at sooner or later.
Thanks again to you guys who kinda of steered me in the right direction and the helpful advice.
Jeff, i have those phantom pains in my legs, my feet are REALLY bad, feels like they are sitting in a pool of hot lava and i can literally feel the flesh melting off my bones. Its gotten worse as the years go by...(of course my situation is a whole lot different than yours)...speaking of that, Thursday is the anniversary of my accident...31 fucking years!
Go get it looked at, i would hate for it to be something that worsens over time bro, could be something as simple as a slight adjustment to remove pressure.
Nerve pain is no joke. I saw one of the top spinal surgeons from Stanford and he said in all his work, if there was ONE thing he could cure in his lifetime, it would be nerve pain. I've tried every med under the sun, i either get nasty side affects of they simply dont work.
Two stings today followed by acupuncture then 90 minutes in the float tank. My back is better now especially after 30 dollar one hour student massage after work last night. Floating helps whatever ails you especially in a float tank with a 1000 pounds of Epsom salts.
Week from Friday four stings and acupuncture. Goal is to arrest the atrophy on the inside of my calf and increase muscle mass like we did on the outside of my left calf a year ago.
Anyone with a chronic condition who is looking for a Hail Mary solution after everything else has failed should definitely investigate BVT.
The downside is bees die in the process. My therapist has her own hive now and over the course of the last six months the hive has expanded a lot. The rationale is making an effort to expand the bee population you are harvesting from to offset the bee deaths.
My calf is starting to hurt now due to the swelling but no pain no gain.
