Suggest treatment for upper thigh pain after using an elliptical
Patient: upper thigh pain after using an elliptical....can be relieved by meds, but it is always there. Sometimes it is hard to raise from a sitting position...I tend to limp and it almost feels like it is going to lock on me. This happened in March and it will not go away. It started as an intense inner thigh pain, but now is mostly on top and outside of thigh. I take a blood thinner...warfarin 7.5 per day. Heart rhythm problem. Doctor: Dear patient Your pain is attributed to hip pathology. This can be in form of early arthritis or chondral injury. I would like to advise Xray of pelvis with both hips anteroposterior  view to confirm diagnosis. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile  start tab ultracet p twice a day for pain relief. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with report.  All the best.
