What causes sharp pain in the upper thigh?
Patient: I am having an extremely, sharp pain in my upper thigh. It is very quick , and only seems to be helped by standing up and walking around. It s like a cramp but unlike anything I ve ever experienced. It runs up from my knee to my extreme upper thigh. Doctor: Hello,  As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.   If symptoms persist it is better to consult an orthopedician to rule out neuropathic causes.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
