What Causes Acute Inner Thigh Pain?
I m having severe pain in my upper somewhat inner right thigh. It began last night and the area of pain has increased. There s no bump, bruise, etc in that area. It does somewhat feel warm to the touch. It hurts to put pressure on my leg, but it only makes that one area hurt! It also makes that area hurt when I cough. I have a fily history of blood clots so I was curious is there was any chance it could be.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuro-muscular assessment is needed.
As you mentioned your symptoms there are two possibilities -
1. lumbar spine degenerative disc disease
2. vascular insufficiency
Now your symptoms guide more towards the 1 and for which you can get assessed by a physical therapist, orthopedic specialist or a neurologist. If the clinically performed test comes positive than an MRI will assist to see the soft tissue status in the lumbar spine.
If the clinical test fails than a doppler will be performed to assess the vascular insufficiency.
For the condition 1 and 2 the treatment guidance will be almost similar with variation of medicine and exercises
treatment includes - rest, medication and physical therapy.
My personal experience teaches me that it looks more of a condition 1 which i mentioned and undergoing MRI followed by Rest, medication and physical therapy to improve the core, pelvic floor, spinal and lower limb muscles. 99% success rate i have seen in patients with combination of this plan.
In case if it is vascular insufficiency issue, then also the combination of rest, medication and physical therapy has provided me a 99% success rate.
I wish the same results from you
