curious...is it possibly a pre-lesion situation? Sometimes I get that pain just prior to an outbreak, but there have been other times that the pain subsides and I always believe I somehow dodged a boil bullet...it's not quite like a cramp, tho

Yes. So recently I’ve been noticing that I experience pain in both my thighs totally away from boils/lesions. It’s pretty intense. It’s not in any joints. I feels like the pain of a cramp. Arthritis is possible.
