What causes severe pain around upper thigh while standing?
Patient: When I stand or walk there is pain in the area where the upper thigh and torso meet, in the bending area, towards the outside more than towards the center of the body. It s intense enough to cause a significant limp. Started when I got out of the car this morning after driving to work. Is this a hip joint situation or nerve? Doctor: Hi,  It could be due to musculoskeletal pain.  As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief.  If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
