What Causes Shocking Sensations In Upper Thighs Radiating To Buttocks?
Hi, my mother is 48 and has been having sudden shocks in her upper thigh. She works all day on her feet. She says it goes from her thigh all the way up to her buttock and that it feels like a nerve. I need help figuring out if theres some home remedy or if its something more serious.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shocking sensations in upper thighs radiating to buttocks . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack . I would suggest you to put your legs in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Massage your leg with flax seed oil will help alot . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist in case of nerve dysfunction.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
