This does sound like it could be the allodynia that is common with fibro. HOWEVER, it was your mentioning of your upper leg that caught my attention. I have fibro and have suffered from allodynia for almost 20 years. But about 6 months ago, I started having a new pain – almost like a burning & numbness/tingling on the top of my right thigh. After talking to my rheumatologist & having a neurologist perform some tests, I was diagnosed with something called “meralgia paresthetica”, which is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve – the nerve responsible for providing sensation to your upper thigh.
In most cases, relief can be found with simple life changes, such as weight loss, wearing looser fitting clothing, and/or changing your normal sitting/sleeping position.
However, it can also be a sign of something more serious, such as diabetes or, in rare cases, a tumor. So if you think you may have this, talk to your doctor. Hope this helps someone!

I find it fascinating that the chickenpox virus moves to the dorsal root ganglion where it remains latent indefinitely. I have never read that fact before yet wonder how scientists know this?
