Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Pain In Quad And Difficulty Walking
My quad has been progressively worse with pain & ability to walk. Crutches have really helped. A nurse practitioner read my xray (I assumed it was mine) telling me I needed a hip replacement. I have no hip, groin or pelvic pain...it s the quad that hurts & gives out.
I have studied your case and I think that you might be having knee problem. Usually thigh pain in quadriceps muscle is because of knee arthritis. To confirm this diagnosis I would recommend you to get knee x rays also and see if it is showing any abnormality. If there is no knee arthritis than I would suggest you to start static quadriceps exercises and hot water fomentation, avoid squatting and sitting cross leg. I hope these steps will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
