What Causes Extreme Fatigue Along With Pain In The Right Thigh?

My husband & I just came back from a camping trip with our grandkids. Lots of work. Later in the day after unloading everything from the back of the truck, he told me he feels extremely fatigued and tired. This just isn t like him. He paces himself and is extremely strong for his age. He also had a strong pain in his upper right thigh that started last night (he thought at the time it was a charlie horse), but it is still bothering him. He seems to have no fever, but says he has only felt this tired when he was sick. I can t stress enough that this is so unusual for him. Can you give me some advice? He is not a complainer.

Hi,

Noted the history about your husband who otherwise is very active and strong developing pain in right upper thigh and is feeling weakness.
The commonest cause I can think about is myospasm may be due to wrong move or stretching or so while downloading the goods from the vehicle.
Or it is possible that he has viral infection causing all the symptoms.
Rare possibility of developing abscess should be remembered.
Hence I would advise him the following:
Consult a Doctor for clinical examination in general and of the affected part.
Tests of blood for infection.
Ultrasonography of the affected area.
All this will lead to a proper diagnosis and thus a proper management.
Till then give him proper dosages of Ibuprofen if it suits him and bed rest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
