What causes upper thigh pain while standing?
Patient: For 4 days, I have had pain in my upper thigh near my groin, mostly when I walk or stand up after sitting. Late this afternoon after taking my usual 25-30 minute walk in the neighborhood, my left upper thigh near my hip started to hurt, and is throbbing now. I m thinking of calling my primary care dr. tomorrow. Otherwise, I am in excellent health and enjoy walking every day. Doctor: Hello,  Most probably it is a musculoskeletal pain. We have to rule out other possibilities like neuropathic pain and pain due to poor blood supply.As a first management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief.If symptoms persist, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
