Unlikely ALS: This can be from the hip, the  knee or pinching of the nerve. You need to see your physician and get an evaluation and imaging. This will clarify your question.
We need to know what  affects it. ? walking, sitting, climbing, etc These are the clues to help understand your problem.

Question 4

i'm having a throbbing pain in my upper left leg? what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Muscle Spasm: The possibility of muscle spasm is the obvious issue.  Some women may be developing venous insufficiency.  Others, may need a doppler study (ultrasound) of the leg to rule out a blood clot.  If basic pain medications do not help, do seek an evaluation with your physician or go to the ER.

Question 5

tendon that goes from thigh to pubic area started hurting. sharp throbbing pain. worse with any movement. comes/goes. hip pain over a year. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Multiple possibilities, I would encourage you to be seen.  The most common cause is some type of abnormality  of the hip itself, which usually causes pain referred into the thigh and groin area.  An exam and appropriate studies would likely reveal the cause.

Question 6

Question 7

what are the causes of thigh pain during ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Enlarging ovaries: Your pain is likely due to the stretching capsule which occurs immediately before ovulation.    It's normal most of the time but when it goes to the thigh, it is due to radiation down the nerves that go both to the pelvis and to the anterior thigh.  Some people with this also have endometriosis.   Talk to your obgyn about this.

Question 8

i have thigh pain usually while sitting at work all day.  this just started off/on recently.  scale 1-10 about a 3 or 4. what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Hip rotation/spasm: Sitting all day, it's the new american sickness.  Our bodies were simply not meant to sit.  Unfortunately for those of us that have to, that usually means that over time, we will develop pain.
You can see an osteopathic doctor (do) who practices omt, or a chiropractor who can do hip manipulation.
In addition, muscle relaxers from your doc may help.  Heat, stretching, getting up will help.  G'luck!

Question 9

Thigh pain: Many possible causes, most likely is the so called "ilio tibial band syndrome" due to very tight ilio tibial band.Other causes could be hip joint pathology, trochanteris bursitis, could be to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and of course bone pathology as well.Characteristics of the pain
 will guide into making a proper diagnosis.
