What Causes Excruciating Pain In The Front Of The Thigh?
Hello Doctor, I had excruciating pain across my front thigh . I was laying on my back when I lift my leg to take the socks off and it started. I managed to stand up tried to stretch but did not help. it repeated one after another 4 or 5 times , I was loosing my conscious from the pain, cold sweat was running on my body. after 30 minutes it was gone, I had this kind of pain every time in that position, I can bend, i can cross my legs, i can lift my leg to put the socks on. What is the problem or solution.?

Hello,
It could be due to neuropathic causes like sciatica.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Gabapentin for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
