What Causes Radiating Pain From The Hip To The Knee?

I am diagnosed with RA. For the last few days my knees have really been bothering me and I noticed that the muscles on the front of my legs between the knee and hip area have been hurting really bad. What do you think might could be causing this? Is it possible that the RA is causing it or something else?

Hi...

Your front thigh muscle pain is not due to RA...
This could possible be caused due to weak glute muscle...and forward leaning posture if yours loading front thigh muscles....
without your knowledge you might out be walking on your toes...
I recommend you to do

Lot of icing on your front thigh muscle...
Gently knead over the front thigh muscles...
Gently stretch your front thigh muscles by vending your leg back and touching the heel to your butt...
stretch your hamstring and butt muscles and also calf muscle...
Start glute stability exercises like bridging.. Side lying and lifting leg sideways... clamshell... squats...

Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard...
