Question: I have been experiencing a recurring pain in my outer left thigh (about a third of the way up from the knee). it is now about every 4-5 minutes, and lasts about 30 seconds... I had a pain in my upper arm also, but I took tums, and it has subsided.....Any cause for concern please??
I have been monitoring my emails for the past 25 minutes, and have not seen any answers...when might I reasonably expect an emailed reply please??
