Question 4

why does my upper right thigh feel sensitive to the touch? it's kinda numb.

Accepted Answer

Nerve irritation: It sounds like you may be having irritation or impingement of a nerve at or near your spine. This is fairly common. People who injure a disc between spinal bones sometimes have this occur. If it becomes genuinely uncomfortable or is causing you distracting worry go see a doctor. Otherwise it's worth giving it time to resolve on its own.

Question 5

i have pain in the back part of my upper right thigh only when i try to stand up or walk, mild to almost no pain when sitting. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Sciatica ?: 23 year old female with unilateral "upper thigh" pain standing, but not sitting, which relatively takes longitudinal mechanical strain off of the sciatic nerve. If this persists see Orthopedist or Physiatrist. There are several potential causes of the pain pattern called "sciatica".

Question 6

my upper right thigh has been aching for the past 2 days. i have tried to strech it out vigorously, but it doesn't feel any better. i need help fast!

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Without an exam have no idea what is causing your thigh pain.  Go and get examined and treated.

Question 7

i've had a large hematoma on my upper right thigh for over a year as a result of getting my leg caught in a deck. sometimes hurts. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor : If this was really a bruise, it should have resolved over 2-3 weeks after the injury. The damage seems to have walked itself off, and should be evaluated by an ortho, with or without the proper imaging to assess what kind of injury you had/have...

Question 8

heating sensation in upper right thigh w/no pain. like iron is set on it i'm 45 yrs. old and unsure what this could be. it occurs more and more often; whether standing or sitting

Accepted Answer

There : There are many causes of burning in the upper thigh.  Common causes include nerve root irritation in the low back (usually of the L2 or L3 nerve roots) or at front of the hip (compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve causing meraglia paresthetica) and hip arthritis. I would recommend discussing it with yor primary care doctor because treatment varies a lot dependng on the cause.  Good luck!

Question 9

pain in lower right calf since last night. no pain walking. some throbbing in upper right thigh now also. ?

Accepted Answer

Lots of possibles: Could be a pulled muscle, leftover pain from exercise ("doms" delayed onset muscle soreness) or a cramp. However if no change in activity, or if you have become INACTIVE,  the worty would be a clot or "DVT". These can break free and go tonthe lungs, and cause serious problems or death- get it checked-soon!

Question 10

hello.i have pain in the upper right thigh that goes down to my knee when i walk. i feel it inside. started yesterday. massaged the area but no use.

Accepted Answer

Adductors: Often times the adductor/hamstring muscles can be irritated and cause knee pain at upper thigh and inner knee. 2 hamstrings and the sartorius attach at the inner knee. Massage, of course, can be beneficial. A visit to your Doctor of Chiropractic, Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) or Proprioceptive Neuro Facilitation (PNF) stretching may help.
