A member asked:
What's the best medicine for thigh pain?not sure if it's a pinched nerve or muscle spasam. i just know it's been hurting for 3 days. extremely achey!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thigh pain: There are many reasons for this pain, but nsaids and stretching with positional changes multiple times per day is probably best for now. Try to continue with activities as usual, except for strenuous lifting and lost of bending, to prevent things from getting worse. Wait for about a week before seeking help if you can tolerate it... Good luck!
