Urologist: This symptom may be due to some inflammation of the epididymus,prostate, or other part of the lower urinary tract. I recommend that you consult a urologist if symptoms persist.

Question 3

mild pain in upper thigh and pubic area male. sensitive to touch after long sitting.no hernia and inguinal node, but there is a degenerative disc .

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Do you have severe low back pain, leg weakness, sensation changes  your bowel or bladder, numbness in your sit areas, problems holding your urine or stool or sexual dysfunction? I so, you may have a potentially serious condition in the lower spine - cauda equina syndrome. Do see your clinician in any case for evaluation &amp; treatment. Meanwhile, you can take acetaminophen or an NSAID for relief.

Question 4

why do i get upper thigh pain when i am sitting or driving?

Accepted Answer

Thigh pain: Consider hip arthritis, femoral head avn, hip synovitis, hernia, vascular insufficiency, upper lumbar referred radicular pain, etc.

Question 5

what is causing the pain at my upper thigh, in the crease, when compressed by sitting/leaning? strong, burning pain after about 30 minutes sitting upright/leaned forward. post thr by 11 months. injection no help for this but helped overall, a bit?

Accepted Answer

Depends on Diagnosis: The location and circumstance of your pain combined with a history of injection that brought temporary relief leads me to believe that someone injected your hip joint for arthritis. If this is the problem you should see an orthopedic surgeon to discuss your options. Ignoring prior treatment I would want to be sure this is not a femoral hernia or other less common problem. See your doctor soon.

Question 6

i am having burning sensations on my right inner & upper thigh for the past week. at first i was getting splashed of heat on the inner thigh. it starts to hurt the upper thigh area while sitting or stretching leg out.  i sit all day & on leg a lot?

Accepted Answer

Thigh-burning : Sound like inflammation of the nerves. The nerves of the thigh can be entrapped by pressure on the border between the thigh and lower abdomen. This often occurs from tight pants along with the waistline or a large obese belly compressing it. You could also have problems stemming from the lower back or inside the pelvis.

Question 7

i have leg pain on bottom of upper thigh.  pain at times while sitting or laying down. what is best advice and treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a pain/spine specialist.  Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis.  Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc.  Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.

Question 8

i feel tingly pain i'm my thigh when sitting and in bed. feels better to stretch and walk. also throbbing on upper thigh (front) and knee on left leg.

Accepted Answer

Muscles: A late teenager with aches and pains in the legs and knees should evaluate his level of physical activity and whether too much was pursued too soon.  Exercise and sports should be undertaken as gradually increased activity within a stepped up program; to allow the soft tissues to gradually adjust and strengthen.  If problem persists, a doctor's evaluation is in order.

Question 9

i have a large painful lump on my upper thigh under the skin. it is red, swollen and very painful, especially when walking or sitting. what isit?

Accepted Answer

Infection&gt; see Dr!!: Your description is concerning and suggests a bacterial infection and abscess(collection of pus). It could be from an infected sebaceous cyst or other cause. You should see a physician today to confirm  infection and drain any abscess if present.

Question 10

pain in right upper thigh slightly abv knee (inner side) and calf with foot numbness on and off and extreme knee pain when sitting, no clots, ideas?

Accepted Answer

Knee, hip, back: If the thigh problem is immediately above the knee this could be a knee problem (cartilage, bakers cyst, joint problem). Knee pain rarely radiates up the leg. Anything higher up is unlikely to be knee. This could also be referred pain from the hip or back.  A good physical examination by someone experienced with these problems should give you the answer.
