iPhone radiation hurting my leg?

My leg sometimes bothers me when I keep my iPhone in my pocket. I'm curious if this has anything to do with the radiation it's putting out.

My last phone sometimes did the same (it had around the same SAR level), but I've never experienced anything else with my previous phones.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I carry a wallet, keys, and other various items in my other front pocket all the time. I don't have, and never have had, any pain like this in that area, or any other area of my legs. I doubt it's a coincidence that the area in which I feel pain is almost exactly identical in size as my phone and exactly in the same area where my phone sits in my pocket.

I'm aware that many people tend to dismiss the experiences of others, for whatever reasons, which is why I asked if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

Thanks

I don't know about the tin foil around your head stopping the radiation. It will however prevent the aliens from locating you.

As far as pain in the leg, I would have to say that it would take a GREAT deal of exposure before any noticeable effects would be evident. As far as the science behind radiation and phones, I have not seen any proof one way or the other.

I'm fully aware of what a "mild allergic reaction to a laundry soap" or "winter dry skin" is like. My skin isn't dry and no changes have been made in laundry detergent, soap, or any other personal hygiene products. The propensity of Apple fans to outright dismiss potential issues with Apple's products is downright cult like. Somewhat similar to the indoctrination taking place in schools around this country. Note the vilification taking place earlier in this thread.

My question is, is anyone else experiencing something similar?
