I have a stabbing pain on my right upper leg on outside about 150mm above the knee. it come and goes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: If there is no swelling, mass, redness or lesion involved, likely muscle spasm or pulled muscle of a small group of muscles. Pain will come on when spasm happens or when certain movements use the particular group of muscles. Otherwise, need to rule out abscess, bone spurt, swelling, blood clots....
