What Causes Severe Weakness In The Upper Thigh?
Hello, I stood up from a siting position Sunday, and proceeded to take a step with my Left leg and my top of my thigh seem to collapse like it was giving out! I when in get up to walk, my top of my thigh is really sore and as I try to walk my left leg makes me kind of limp! Could I have pulled a muscle on the upper portion of my thigh, causing my leg to give out when I walk?? Is it something I need to have checked out with my primary care physician?? It bothers me a lot when I go to walk or to take steps.
Could you please respon.?

Hi welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern for severe weakness in the upper thigh .
Dear it seems ,your some muscle has been pulled or some vein has been pressed which is disconnecting the thigh from your leg causing you in limping like situation .
You need not worry . You just stretch your legs ,- bend from knee and stretch in front gently 10 times both the legs one by one ,
Next walk on you heels , 10 times and 10 times on toes .
next you do 10 sit ups . It will help proper blood circulation in your limbs
Regular activity helps to strengthen your muscles .
consult your doctor if problem persists
Hope this helps solve your query. Take care
