What Causes Pain In The Upper Thigh?
FOR THE LAST 5 MO I HAVE BEEN HAVING PAIN IN MY UPPER LEFT THIGH. I HAD A HIP REPLACEMENT A YR AGO IN SEPT AND A KNEE REPLACEMENT IN FEB OF 2016 I HAVE HAD XRAYS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ALL SAY THE HIP AND KNEE ARE FINE. I WISH THAT AN MRI WOULD BE DONE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE THIGH. THE THIGH WOULD BE FINE WHEN I GET UP, BUT AS SOON AS I PUT WEIGHT ON IT IT CAN GIVE OUT ON ME DO YOU HAVE ANY POSSIBLE REASON WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS?

So avoid tight clothing. Use capsule Pregaba M 75 once a day for few weeks. Weight reduction may also useful. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
