What Causes Pain Around Thigh And Leg?
Right around my thigh area and down my leg it feels like a scrub board. I have been told by my doctor that I have bad tendons. I roll on a exercise roller and that helps some relief from the pain. However, they never completely go away. When I sit on cushion that is soft they come back bigger and start hurting again. I have had this a long time.
