What Causes Sudden Onset Of Thigh And Hip Pain?
All of a sudden on Nov 13, my left thigh close to the hip started to hurt. Each day thereafter the pain has gotten worse. It does not feel like it is in the joint. It feels like it is in the upper portion of my thigh muscle. The pain when I walk is at the 10 level even taking pain medicine. Pain is only when I walk. Maybe a pinched nerve.
