What Causes Severe Pain And Discomfort In The Thigh?

I have been going through severe pain and discomfort on my left thigh. It started as mild discomfort when I stand up and start to walk. It has become so severe now that I get scared just thinking of having to stand or walk. Sometimes it subsides but most times especially when I have to get up from a sleeping or lying down position

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain and discomfort in the thigh . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like avascular necrosis , bursitis , epididymitis , hydrocele , inguinal hernia , muscle strain , pinched nerve or sciatica . I would suggest you to consult general surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically or order ultrasound or x-ray to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon if the problem is related to muscle strain . Doctor may prescribe analgesic , anti inflammatory or antibiotics . For now apply warm compresses on thighs , take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Do not stand in one position for long time .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
