A member asked:

I am getting leg pain, both on the outer sides and back of my thighs. what is best advice and treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If there is no injury it could be a muscle, ligament, tendon injury or bakers cyst. Blood clots are possible and would not need to be red swollen or painful. Best advice is get examined please.
