What Is The Treatment For Coeliac Disease?

Hi. i m 56 normal BMI coeliac disease (well controlled) and have had intermittent Lt anterior thigh neuralgia type pains, no obvious precipitant, last a few seconds up to a minute, varying severity. Goes away for couple days then reoccurs. No weakness no other symptoms. Any ideas.

Im sorry to hear about your concerns. Likely the symptoms in your left thigh and your well controlled celiac disease are unrelated. Now if the symptoms are more anteriolateral on the thigh this could represent meralgia paresthetica or lateral femoral cutaneous nerve compression. If the symptoms are strictly anterioir this could relate to lumbar radicular pain, or pain due to nerve root irritation/compression in the lumbar spine ( likely L3 or L2). You should make an appointment with your PCP or a interventional pain physician to be examined and possibly attain a MRI. i hope this helps you and i hope you feel better soon.
