Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Over the past few days or so I ve noticed a strange pulsating feeling in my right thigh (right of center about 6 inches above knee). It isn t painful, but it is strange in that there is no regular rhythm to it. There is also a mild numbing sensation like my thy is waking up from being asleep but never quite does. It comes and goes throughout the day, sometimes it s pretty active other times not. I would describe it almost like a jello type substance is being squeezed through my thigh. Also, I don t think it s a muscle twitch, since it feels very deep and I don t see my leg moving.
It is due to nerve twitching. It is a nonspecific symptom and generally settles by itself without any definite treatment. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
