Sometimes i get the most excruciating sharp pain in my upper thigh, like a safety pin sticking in me..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thigh pain: there are many causes of this problem. If it is upper thigh might think about meralgia parathestica which is an entrapment of the later femoral cutaneous nerve. This is common in females. Better get that checked out as there are many beneficial treatments for this. Also want to make sure it isnt anything else. Hope this helps.
