Hey guys, I've been experiencing a burning sensation along with pins and needles in my left thigh for almost two weeks now, I believe the medical term is paresthesia. It seems to be more intense when I'm in bed. I'm feeling incredibly anxious about it as I'm worried there might be possible nerve damage. Has anyone else experienced this and did it eventually go away?
Thanks Rei. How long did it take before it went away? What worries me is that I finished lengthening quite a while ago and then this just seemed to come out of nowhere
Thanks for the detailed explanation California, much appreciated. A bit of background to my situation - I was only experiencing numbness in my left shin during lengthening but no burning sensation in my thigh. After going into a state of panic about my femurs being out of proportion I regrettably decided to reduce in length but stopped at around 3mm as I was having leg pains which were most likely caused by overdoing it with squats but I wasn't sure if maybe the reducing length was affecting things too. About 5 days later the burning sensation kicked in and hasn't gone away.
I'm not sure if perhaps the small reduction in length caused this or its due to something else. The thought of having to live with some permanent nerve issue has really got me depressed this past few days, I hope the nerves heal like you mentioned.
