You need evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
There are three possibilities in your case-
1) Muscle pain ( myofascial pain syndrome)
2) Nerve pain
3) DVT( deep vein thrombosis)
In my opinion it can be due to muscle pain in your case, If you are not having other symptoms like numbness( to rule out nerve pain), redness, swelling, and increased temperature( to rule out DVT).
Treatment options-
- maintain your weight
- take anti inflammatory drugs and pain killer
- take calcium and magnesium supplement
- do routine exercise
- pressure bandage
- physiotherapy
- avoid constipation
If your pain persist after it then in my opinion you should consult your treating doctor to rule out the cause.
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
