Question 1

Sounds like: something is pressing on a nerve, such as hernia or enlarged lymph node.  Have your doctor take a look to make sure that it is not a serious condition.

Question 2

i am 71 and have a terrible pain in my right inner thigh, not a muscle ache. also lower back pain. can't lift right leg due to pain. ?

Accepted Answer

Osteoarthritis hip?: If by inner thigh you mean groin and by lower back you mean buttock pain this could be osteoarthritis of the hip. If the pain starts at the lower back and radiated down the leg  and is associated with numbness or tingling we could be dealing with a nerve problem. I suggest you go to your doctor to be thoroughly evaluated.
