What Is The Treatment For Severe Pain In The Left Thigh?

I had two episodes last night where I had severe pain in the middle of my left thigh. I tried standing up, but the pain just got worse. Both times it gradually went away, but both times when the pain came on it was really excruciating. What would cause this? I had no after effects in the morning, nor any muscle pain like you get when you have leg cramps.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



As per your presentation the pain is constant and severe, one sided, uncomfortable in standing position. This type of pain (neuropathic pain) mostly occurs in case of any pressure or damage to the nerve supplying that area. In standing position the nerve will get more strained, hence pain increases.

You can confirm by
1. nerve conduction tests
2. x-ray both thighs
3.complete blood picture

Coming to treatment part you can follow the below pattern:
1. use non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs
2. you can also use pain killer sprays
3. take vit- B12 tablets
4. physiotherapy helps to some extent
5. check for risk factors like diabetes.

These measure can help you to recover soon from your symptoms. Don't get worried and try to follow the above thing for a speedy recovery.
