Burning stabbing pain everywhere, and swelling, and GI pain, and breathing difficulty.

Pain only in the thighs may be meralgia paresthetica. This is a sensory pathway nerve from L4-L5 in the back and gets compressed as it passes thru the abdomen. It exits at the top of the thigh near the side. Using Lidoderm patches at the exit,
sometimes puts the nerve to sleep (lateral femoral nerve).
this link has more:

Figure 2B shows the location where the nerve exits the abdomen.
I had this as a consequence of a surgery (C-section). Using the Lidoderm patches when they first came out, resulted in a remission for me, after 14 days or so. I had had it for over a decade before! I only had it on the right side.
