From the time I was in my teens until I was about thirty years old, I would periodically get some kind of strange “twinge” in one of my thighs that felt like a cross between a weird electric charge and an itch, but it wasn’t on the surface of my skin, not even just under the skin, it was deep inside somewhere, maybe the muscle or something like that. There was never any common activity nor position I’d be in when it hit me; I could be sitting or standing or riding my bike or sleeping or marching or taking a shower or watching a movie, etc. It only lasted a split second, and it wasn’t exactly painful, it was attention/grabbing. It never varied in its severity, it was always unexpected and sharp and immediate. It never caused enough distress to make me fall off of my bike or drop anything I was carrying, it’s very difficult to explain or describe. When it hit me, it then dissipated as quickly as it came on, and it never repeated itself in that same session. Several weeks, months, or even a year would go by between episodes. I never had even the slightest opportunity to see a medical professional about it, mainly because it wasn’t very problematic nor worrisome, just a momentary annoyance, and also because I could never show a doctor any evidence of it since its onset was so unpredictable. In fact, between episodes, I would actually forget about it, that’s how infrequent and surprising it was. I cannot even remember if it was my left thigh or right thigh. I’ve never suffered a broken bone nor had surgery, and I’ve never been on any medication, so I don’t know what might have caused it.
Now, a couple decades later, I had forgotten about it completely until I read your question and was about to answer that I had no such incident to report when all of a sudden I remembered this. Wait, if this thing suddenly starts up again, I will hunt you down, Zack! Grrrrrr.
