Question 1

inner thigh pain when walking comes and goes. makes it feel like my leg is giving way?

Accepted Answer

Think your back: If you have some impingement at the spine in your lower back, it can cause referred pain. Have it checked out, especially if it makes your walking potentially unsteady.

Question 2

can custom orthodics cause me upper leg and inner thigh pain when standing or walking. pain for a week so far.

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Biomechanical orthotics change how the muscles in your feet and legs function during the gait cycle. For this reason, we instruct our patients to break in a new pair of orthotics over time, so as to not put too much strain on the muscles. Another answer is they might need to be adjusted.  Talk to the doctor who prescribed them, who may also give you stretching exercises to do.

Red patches: The description , unfortunately , doesn't give enough information.  As it could be a lot of different things it merits an exam to decide.  See your podiatrist or dermatologist.

Question 7

i was standing for a long time yesterday (3pm-3am) and i noticed really bad leg pain in both legs. walking to my car i almost couldnt walk. today my left leg feels cramps and achey. is this dvt? or muscle related? pain comes and goes?

Accepted Answer

: Exercise your lower extremities, apply local heat and drink fluids. If the symptoms do not resolve or if the symptoms are associated with swelling, shortness of breath or dizziness, please see the Emergency Department. A DVT may be ruled out and an imaging test ordered by your PCP.  Since you describe achiness and leg cramps, muscular inflammation is one possible cause.
