Suggest Treatments For Pain In The Upper Thighs

I ve been to several doctors and had x-rays trying to find the answer to severe pain in the upper thighs to both legs. I ve been on several pain medications and nothing works. The time on my feet is very limited. I m 69 years old. What type of doctor should I look for? I m becoming very depressed over my situation. My next appointment is for an EMG??? Please advise

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
U seem to have compressed a nerve in the back somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.Possibility of a lumbar disc prolapse should be kept in mind.
I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
