Posted on Wed, 27 Jul 2016

Question: I work in the produce section at retail store. after a couple hours my upper thighs start burning really bad. why????

Brief Answer:
Hello. I understand your concern here

Detailed Answer:
If there's no rash as yet on your thighs, this could be a shingles outbreak and that rash takes a few days to show after the symptoms occur.

This could also be a peripheral neuropathy from vitamin B12 deficiency or diabetes and that wouldn't cause a rash.

The best thing to do is to have your doctor see you again for some blood testing.
