What Causes Swelling In Thigh In An Athlete?

My dtr went to the clinic at college. She is a big BB athlete and sweats and exercises constantly. Out of the blue she noted a possible swollen gland on upper thigh area and went to see nurse. She thought it was gertting better but about the size of a quarter and painful to touch. She had been run down this month.

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
One can not comment about the swelling without actually examining it.
It may be an enlarged lymph node , cyst , lipoma or femoral hernia.
If it is not painful and overlying skin is normal color then do not worry. You should schedule your appointment with your physician for proper assessment.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
