Hello,

By your history and description, the possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. You might have pulled your thigh muscle which is causing this pain.

But better to consult an orthopaedic doctor and get done a clinical examination and X-ray of the thigh. If this is normal then you will mostly improve with painkiller and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
