Suggest Medication For Throbbing Pain On The Right Hip Area
I have had a throbbing pain in my right hip area that travels down the front of my leg. It is a dull pain that throbs almost like a fatigued feeling. A few weeks ago, I started getting a throbbing pain in my arm and a burning sensation down the inside of my arm. I had an MRI done, but nothing reflected on the right side. All I am getting from doctors is prescriptions for educated guesses. I had a cervical fusion of my C6-7 in 2012, but I really want to know if these pains are related?

Hi ,in cases of Fusion C 6-7 , generally symptoms are pain in the neck and pain in arm on inner side. So arm pain may be due to involvement of cervical nerves but thigh pain is not explained by it. So I would rather go for MRI Lumbo sascral spine and S Vit B12 levels in blood. In the meantime you can start with pregabalin 75 mg at night to see if some relief is there or not .
