Thank you! I have been having severe pain in my right thigh, to the side. Only hurts when I move. Feels like otabbing sharp pain. Thought? I am on vacation and scheduled for a very short (15 minute) flight home today. Have been having this the past few night. Last night being the worst. TY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your thigh pain is associated only with movements. So possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of thigh.
2. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of thigh.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside. You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days. If not improving then consult orthopedic doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
