front muscles of upper legs

My muscles in the front of my legs constantly hurt is there any suggestions to help them I work 9 hour days and some days I can not hardly stand the pain.Do foam rollers help or hurt them more .does food choices help? Thanks

Try Salonpas gel. It can knock pain out quickly. The smell is strong at first but vanishes quickly. I love it.

Thanks for info

If it's muscle pain vs nerve pain , a foam roller may help. I've used a foam roller for tight muscles from my SI joint pain. Tailbone, hips, hip flexors, front of thighs. If its nerve pain deep in the muscle, it may be harder to touch with foam roller.

Heating pads work well with pain meds. I also take Gabapentin for nerve pain. I recently started drinking turmeric tea, it helps with aches. Essential oils are helpful too like helichrysum oil.

That's all I can think of right now. I hope you can find something to help ease your pain .

Hi ANNBLAZE: Great ideas and advice above.

Just wondering: Have you seen a neurologist for this? As CathyA said, it could be a nerve entrapment.

I'm asking this since I was told I not only have fibro, but also a neuro condition that couldn't be pinpointed; just given a suggestion of what it could be. My legs seem to get the worst of either condition. I take Neurontin and Flexeril, which do help.

I also try to keep my feet on a big pillow when lying down, and on a foot rest when sitting. I didn't yet buy a good old-fashioned footstool. I use a plastic storage cube turned upside down, with a big folded blanket on top. Nothing fancy, but it does give some relief.

Best wishes!

packrat: I would guess you're directing your question to ANNBLAZE, but just in case you meant me, no, I don't take any statins.
