Suggest Remedy For Pain In Thighs
Question: I have pain in the upper inside thigh when I stretch my leg to the right or lift the leg to put on shoes etc. it does not hurt to walk. No recent injuries
Brief Answer:
Take Tylenol and let's monitor the pains!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
The most common cause of this pain you have described is a strained muscle or ligament. I will suggest that we manage this with pain medications such as Tylenol and see the effect. If this calms the pain, then we can stop at this. If this pain persists, then I will suggest we get a detailed evaluation and imaging studies to understand what the exact cause is. I will also recommend that you get to do some gentle stretching physical exercises of the lower limbs so as to avoid rigidity of these muscles that can limit the range of movement in the long run.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
