What Causes Sudden Pain In Upper Front Thigh?

I have pain in my upper front thigh.. I have no idea what I did to cause this problem.. It started when I was sitting on bleachers watching my grandson play basketball.. The game only lasted an hour or so.. When I went to stand up, if not for my husband, I would ve collapsed. After I got home, I used bio freeze on the affected area.. After an our with no relief, I used a heating pad for approximately an hour..No change.. The last thing I used was my tens unit which temporary took care of the pain.. The next day I had pain going all the way down my right leg.. Now everyday is a new adventure.. The pain and weakness comes and goes as it pleases.. Im away from home on vacation and am not near any of my doctors.. Can you help me???

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden pain in upper front thigh . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like neuronal symptoms and due to the compression . There can be other reasons also like compressed fracture , sciatica and disc problem.

Condition like STD can also cause such symptoms .I suggest you to get an X ray and CT of the thigh , blood for fasting sugar, calcium, vitD3 and meet a orthopedic surgeon. Doctor may recommend avoiding bending, heavy weight lifting , physiotherapy like ankle drill, quadriceps etc , prescribe aceclofenac thiocolchicoside combination for 7 days , pregabalin-mecobalamin combination .

For now apply warm compresses to thigh , take proper rest , and take orthodox- MR for pain . Doctor may also refer you to dermatologist in case of infection .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
