Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I began having soreness, then sharp pain, in my left thigh (quadricep) earlier this evening. I took tylenol and 2-1/2 mg. diazepam, but the pain didn t go away even after stretching my thigh. I went to bed around midnight and it is now still there. It got worse when I sat on the toilet. I am a 73-year old female.

Hello, The symptoms are consistent with conditions like sciatica. As of now, you can take drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief, If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. A detailed evaluation is required including an MRI scan in case of diagnostic confusion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
