What Causes Pain And Stiffness In The Left Thigh?
When I wake up in the morning or sit for a long period my left thigh and calf are completely stiff. I can barely walk without a cane. Fortunately, there is no pain. After walking around a bit I am OK. My VA physicians say it is muscle related but have no clue as to what is causing it. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thank you for suing healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
This looks like the morning stiffness of arthritis. I would like to see an Xray of your hip and blood test for arthritis.
The initial treatment is with medication and later with surgery (hip repleacement).
I wish you quick recovery.
