What Causes Sharp Pain In Thigh?

Hi, I have had sharp pain in my Mid. right thigh in front, for about 6 days. I went to the doctor and they want to send me to a pain management person. They did not even look at my leg. It is in one spot and there are some broken veins there also. Do I need a blood test or ex-rays?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From the description, I feel that you might have sustained a SOFT TISSUE STRAIN involving your ligaments or tendons.

This will generally resolve within few weeks by the following measures -
* Rest to the injured part and dont involve in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissues.
* Ice packing should be applied for about 20 minutes once in every 2 hours.
* Analgesic & anti inflammatory medications

Get an Xray done to ruleout any bony injury.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
