What Causes Sharp Pain In Upper Thigh And Right Leg?

Diabetic neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
i am very sorry for your condition.i am happy to know that your diabetes is under good control
There are two possibilities which can explain your condition.
There might be spasm of muscle which will give dull pain during activity.
Muscle spasm can be relieved by hot water fomentation and gentle massage.
The second and most probable possibility is it might be due to a complication in long term diabetes called Diabetic neuropathy.
This is a complication related to nerves seen in long term diabetes.
Honestly, I don't diagnose you with this condition; but it's definitely worth evaluation in these lines since there are many matching symptoms. Please discuss with your treating doctor
This Diabetic neuropathy can be diagnosed by doing test like vibration perception testing,pinprick sensation and nerve conduction study.
I am deeply concerned about your pain killer intake because long term pain killers like NSAIDS will damage kidneys kindly keep them away. Try using only paracetamol.
continue your diet and exercise I wish you good health
Hope I was able to help you.

Take care.
Best Regards.
