What Causes Pain In The Upper Thigh?
I started having upper thigh pain last night and now I can hardly lift my leg to get in my car. I had no injury s to cause this. Was just standing at work on the one leg more or less then the pain started and realized I can t pick my leg up. It even hurts when I cough. What is the cause of this?

Hello,
The fact that the pain started so suddenly and that it is worse on movements might mean it is due to a muscular strain. It might help to take some ibuprofen and paracetamol and if no improvement you might benefit to see a physiotherapist which may give you exercises to help the muscles relax and be less painful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
