Dr. Rebecca Gliksman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Post thigh pain: May also be sciatica which may response to NSAIDS ( motrin prrducts if not allergic ) and steroids. But since DVT has potential acute serious effects would go to an ER to get an ultrasound to assess for DVT and would do it today.
