Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Tonya, Don't be afraid to get properly diagnosed. If you do have EN there are quite a few rather serious reasons for it, and those must be addressed and possibly treated. We do not, unfortunately, have doctors in our Group. From my own research it is not common to get EN only on the thigh alone. The usual place is on the shin--lower leg/ankle. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=1\ 786841 & dopt=Abstract On the other hand, there are many disorders that present with painful nodules on the legs, and it is for this reason that you really should find out what you are dealing with. You should not have to diagnose yourself. A dermatologist is the doctor to see first. We have had several members think they had EN only to discover that they didn't.

I always get the same thing in the same place and occasionally others on my buttocks, but never my lower legs. I am afraid to go to the doctor and am not sure I have EN but I can't find anything else similar to what I have, as far as description goes. The description is identical to what I have. > If you can let me know what you think, thanks. > Tonya > Quote
