Suggest Treatment For Leg Pain

I woke up this morning with a sharp aching pain in my inner thigh I have never experienced before. I took some ibuprofen and went back to sleep. When I woke up the pain now starts left to my groin and shoots down to the bottom of my foot. It s almost unbearable. What can I do?

Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your query.

Do you have any back pain ?
What is your age ?

It appears you could be having muscle spasm as a result of nerve pinching due to possible disc prolapse Bebside the pain is radiating to your foot from the thigh.

There are various causes for the same but if you are having back pain as well, it is imperative to get evaluated for disc problems in your spine and any problems in the hip like arthritis.

Kindly avoid lighting heavy weights or bending forward.

Eat healthy. Stay stress free.

Consult your Orthopaedic surgeon in this regard for a thorough examination and evaluation of your problem.

I hope I have answered your query.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
