It can be awful and very limiting in the clothing department.
I find fleece leggings are good and light dresses when warm.
Rain and cold sets my flares off.
I take lyrica and amitriptyline as well as LDN .
My feet can burn at times and were awful a few years ago.
I received a phenytoin cream to try on thighs and capsaicin helps too.
Anyone else with thigh issues?
I have livedo in front of thighs too.
Thank you

Gossiegoo-
I experienced burning in the front of both thighs due to severe peripheral neuropathy in both legs for 5+ yrs. Gabapentin did not prove helpful for this problem. My primary care Dr. placed me on ropinirol 2 MG x daily, generic is reasonably, priced, been around for yrs. It's more commonly used to treat Relestless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The only negative side effect I experienced was fatigue when 1st started which eventually passed over time.
