Why Am I Experiencing Pain In My Left Upper Thigh?
I have been experiencing pain in my left upper thigh for some time. This happens mostly after sitting down for a few hours and I start walking. It does not restrict my movements, but can be very painful when I take a few steps. I have been to physio, done various exercises, used voltarol, but pain does not seem to go. What are your thoughts

Hello, Thanks for your query. According to your description , pain over your thighs seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of thighs and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
