What Causes Radiating Pain In Top Of Left Leg, Groin Area And Knees?
I have pain that starts in top of my left leg opposite the groin area that goes down my leg to my knee. I have had this off and on for several weeks, have seen several doctors, they have told me it might be a sprain or osteoarthritis. I pain has increased over the past few days. Today, when I woke I could barely walk the pain was so tense. I spent most of my time with my feet up and iced the top of leg today. I do not feel any better and the pain has gotten worse, what do you think this might be and what should I do?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest doing stretching exercises for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
