What Causes Severe Thigh Pain While Moving?
I work as a route salesman in a truck, so I m pretty active for twelve hours a day running my route getting out from my truck to and from houses. For the last three saturdays I ve gone fishing and had to stand for a couple of hours, well during moving back and forth I have had sharp and knifelike pains in my thighs and have had to stop moving. When I would move again the pain would begin again. It s been very hot on two of these Saturdays, but one Saturday was nice in temperature. Any ideas?

It might be very much possible that you suffered from dehydration. It might be an electrolyte dysbalance which would have lead to the pain, usually a hypokalemia (low potassium). However to rule out something else, may I know whether the pain occurs even at other times and whether it radiates or is relieved by rest???
