What Is The Cause Of Leg Pain?
I sometimes get woken up in the middle of the night by a unbearable inner thigh pain, which is hard to describe it feels like someone is stabbing me in the leg - I cannot move as it gets worse - it brings me to tears sometimes - It eases up about 15 minutes but that time frame seems so long
