A member asked:
I have a 6" length on my outer thigh half way between my hip & my knee that is extremely tender to the touch. no injuries. no swelling that i can tell?

Tenderness: The problem could be from bone, muscle or nerve in that area. If there was numbness and/ or tingling, a pinched nerve occurring at the entrance of your leg/groin region would be suspected. See an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation if this symptom persists and appropriate tests or xrays will be ordered. A referral to a neurologist can be made if deemed advisable.
