Question 3

hi, ive been starting to get like an ache in the lower thigh above the knee and this is on my right leg. i think it would be cysts but not sure. ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Unless you see any red bumps or sweeping on your leg, cysts generally don't appear inside your leg to cause pain.

Feel good

Question 5

i've been getting an odd wet sensation on my lower thigh just above the back of my knee. i noticed it 4 days ago at first it wasn't painful just annoy?

Accepted Answer

Curious, but not: unheard of. Typically, an unusual sensation--sensing wet but it isn't!--is a manifestation of nerve dysfunction, most probably a small fiber neuropathy. Curiously, the location you report---the leg/thigh--is one of the more common sites reported for this unusual wet sensation. Neuropathies can be caused by diabetes, metabolic abnormalities, toxic exposures,etc. A neurologist can help sort this out

Question 6

small vibrations  lower thigh/back knee, no weakness, not visible, in intervals. no pain, no other symptoms. started this morning. felt when rest

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: One time occurrence of symptoms, then asking for diagnosis is not easy.  Could be due to how your crossed your legs, where you sat, etc.  You should monitor your symptoms, and should they set a pattern, then checking with your physician will help explain what is going on.

Accepted Answer

Could: Be a collateral ligament sprain, but you need t be evaluated for correct diagnosis and treatment. Good   l uck!.

Question 8

i have pain in my lower back, my thigh, and my knees. is there a treatment for that?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on what is causing your pain.  You may want to see your doctor to see what exactly is going on.

Question 9

right knee and lower thigh hurt. do i see my gp?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your gp can usually make a generalized diagnosis.  If necessary, they will refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon.

Question 10

what could cause extreme pain on the outer part of my knee, lower thigh and calf?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: This sounds like ileotibial band syndrome (itb syndrome)  the it band is a broad band of fascia that runs along the outer part of your thigh to below the knee.  It holds the muscle in, but can create a friction syndrome and a bursitis along the outer part of the knee.  This pain can be very sharp.  Stretching as well as foam roller therapy and rest can be useful to prevent this condition.
