Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
Lumps can be caused by any number of conditions, including infections, inflammation, tumors and trauma. Although these are rare causes, both benign and malignant tumors of the skin, soft tissues, or bones can appear as lumps on the thigh. In these cases, either a biopsy or surgical removal of the lump can determine whether cancer is present.
Seek immediate medical care if you, or someone you are with, have a thigh lump along with other serious symptoms including:
Coldness of the feet, with weak or absent pulses
High fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit)
Loss of sensation in the leg
Obvious breakage or deformity of the bones
Paralysis or inability to move a body part
Uncontrollable pain
Uncontrolled or heavy bleeding, hemorrhage
My experience says it can be a inguinal hernia get yourself examined by some reputed surgeon.
Till then you can use pain killers fir both the painful bulge and sciatica.Oral painkillers like ibuprofen can help you.
I hope my answer was helpful for you . Dont forget to close the discussion.Thank you.
