No pain in leg just on the right side upper thigh no back pain no leg pain just in that right thigh/ buttock area. standing very painful if standing still, walking kinda ok for a bit/ sitting somewhat relieves it at least the intense pain. recently an added symptom is a numbness/electrical shocking sensation.

Never any broken bones very active I am a plumber/ electrician I dig, crawl etc and do not have any problems anywhere except this. what is it

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, the pain seems to be neuromuscular however for reassurance X-rays of lumbar spine should be done to rule out any associated lumbar spondylosis.
The triggering and relieving factors can point out to muscular issues like piriformis syndrome but the professions you explained are more likely to arise sciatica related issues.
Overall an orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapist review should be sought. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen alongwith muscle relaxants like tizanidine or orphenidine can be helpful. If pain is severe, nerve pain suppressants like gabapentin may be needed. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Regards
