Thigh pain: Could be a number of things but of concern is clots. Any swelling? Are you on birth control pills or have a family history of clots? Could also be sciatica, meralgia parasthetica,nerve compression, ganglion cyst, cyst, mass type pain,does it change with position?redness?trauma?Due to concern for clot ,would check it out this AM with doctor/ER as a clot is an emergency.
