I have been putting this off for days...

Do you remember injuring or straining it at all?

Sometimes, a pulled muscle can feel "hot"--does it feel like that?

Got me---but if it's causing pain and hasn't gone away after a week......you need to see your Doc!!

Of course your a smoking hawtty! But I would tell you to go see your doc! Something that has no apparant cause needs to be addressed. Best to simply go in, and find out what it is, and then start healing up, hun!

Ever injured you back? Sometimes pain referred from the back masks as localized pain.

Are you sure its not your Sciatica nerve? I have a sharp pain every so often in my upper leg. Very painful sitting doesn't help ether. I need to go to the doc but I don't have the money to go. Best thing is get your weight off your leg when you have the pain and heat all so helps.

I too have had sciatic pain that starts right above my buttocks and can go down through my leg.

Hm, feels like a rash, but nothing there... I guess that you couldn't have some type of bug bite?
I've broken out so many times, I have the worlds most sensitive skin.

Only a doc could truly give you an answer, maybe you could ask a pharmacist at CVS or Walgreens or wherever you get meds.

Nope...don't think it is that...I'm googling and finding nothing.

This bites!

More like a "patch" of skin area...

I googled sort of what your problem is, check out this website and see if it helps, it may not but I thought that I would give it a try

Nope, and nope...

I was thinking someone would be saying they had something like this from running or riding or working out at some time or another.

Hummm...

Well, didn't you go for bike rides recently? Does it your bike seat hit you in that area?

Repeat after me, go to the Doctor! That's what they are for! Unless someone in here is a MD or a DO, and can also perform a clairvoyant examination, then I wouldn't be too totally confident of everyone's prognostication. :flowerforyou: C'mon hun, you're a big gurl, let's just pick up that phone and dial the doc for a "quickie" to see what it is. That way, the doc can get you the specific treatment you need.
luvya hun! But thanx for the socks, the complement the grey musculature, hehehe :laugh:

My hubby is military...the LAST thing I really want is to go into my freaky doctor. We are in the process of switching, so maybe I'll go in...ugggg...I hate that! She has moments of greatness followed by over drugging, ignoring that I'm allergic to some drugs, giving extra shots I didn't want for my kids, followed by another glimpse of brilliance... :grumble:

Makes you want to call right away, ey?

Glad you liked the socks. It was hard picking out which ones to put on...pink ones, or blue to match my eyes. Hummm...

I hate Navy docs--they do their best, I know but gessh! the last one I had told me it was "no problem" if my BG levels stayed above 150 all the time and my BP was 140/90. That was "ok" according to her! HA! anyway, we live too far from any base now, so they let us see civilian docs. Plus, not all bases see retirees...:grumble:

I'm not sure why your burning O wait your hot.
Come on navy doc aren't that bad I need thoughts guy on the ship, they do a pretty good job on 3rd degree burns or bullets holes.
I sometimes get hot paches on my skin as long as it's not to red and doesn't spead I suck it up at lest that's what doc tells me to do.

they don't retiries here in Ft Worth but the pharmcy is full everyday. I hate to hear the system is like that for one someday I'll be retired and the other is the people who lead the way before me, should be treated better.

Suck it up? Ya, if a doctor tol me to "suck it up???" That's why I'm not going in...I don't want someone to treat me like I'm a stupid whinny wife. I get that look at least once a year so I try to avoid visits... LOL

We are AF. They are great doctors often, but just getting that "you are stupid" talk or feeling, makes me soooooooo upset. I just can't bare it most of the time. You have to go sometimes "in the mood" to be treated like you are an idiot, and lately, I'm just not up for it. LOL

We lived at the campground on Andrews AFB for a year and I had to use the AF pharmacy. OH BOY! What a mess! I had such a hard time getting them to "accept" my prescriptions, as they were issued by the Navy and apparently in their minds, there was a difference. They wanted me to see an AF doc to get all new prescriptions! Then, they said they weren't seeing retirees at Andrews and I would have to be seen at Walter Reed, as that was the only med facility taking retirees in Northern VA! When I pointed out that wasn't AF either, they said they wouldn't take their prescriptions either! All this from the enlisted guy running the desk. Nothing against enlisted (my DH is retired E-8) but I knew he didn't have final say, so demanded to see the OIC. After a couple hours going around in circles, they finally consented to give me my refills. Then, every time I had to call in for a refill, I had issues. I finally just started using an outside civilian pharmacy and paying the co-pay. They tell you that you can get free meds at military pharmacies but they don't make it easy to do that!

I think I found it...OUCH!

Hokay, I'm going in...I'm going in...My bun is killing me.

Hmmmmmm--what was the first thing I said????? Maybe next time you'll listen to me little lady

That said--let me warn you....several opportunities in life to deal with muscle injuries speaking here, and if it's a pulled muscle not much can be done other than to give you some pain killers and tell you to rest, compression, elevate, and rest. I forget if it's ice or heat you put on it though....

FOUND IT! It's R.I.C.E.--see below

"Running, aerobics and other forms of exercise are good for your health, but these activities can raise your risk for sprained joints, strained muscles and other minor injuries. Proper care in the first day or two after injury can reduce the time you're sidelined by it. Should you suffer a sprain, strain, pull, tear or other muscle or joint injury, treat it with R.I.C.E. -- Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. R.I.C.E. can relieve pain, limit swelling and protect the injured tissue, all of which help to speed healing. After an injury occurs, the damaged area will bleed (externally or internally) and become inflamed. Healing occurs as the damaged tissue is replaced by collagen, perhaps better known as scar tissue. Ideally, the scar tissue needs complete repair before a full return to sport is recommended. "
