Brief Answer: Yes it may be bone related or perhaps neurological Detailed Answer: “Hi, I have read your problem. Usually pain in anterior and lateral of thigh managed with pain-killers till 1 month period. If it persists beyond 1 month, then further investigations are done. Yes it may be bone related or perhaps neurological. Since you has a bad pain I will suggest the following: - Thigh pain can be due to many reasons. You should get x-ray lumbosacral spine done in AP and Lateral done send us report or discuss it with your doctor. Only then further management can be advised. - Avoid heavy weight lifting pushing and pulling heavy objects, because it will further increase back pain. - You must not wear tight pant/trouser because it is usually seen that person who wear tight pants/ trousers especially at waist suffer from pain in anterior and lateral aspect of thigh due to compression of nerve. - You can take medicine like painkillers + muscle relaxants by discussing it with your doctor.

Brief Answer: You are right. Detailed Answer: Hi, My friend you are right, because you are a patient and belong to medical profession (nurse) your observation is even more correct than any investigation. But my friend main point I want to explain in my previous answer was suspicion of sarcoma compressing nerve root. That means perhaps your sarcoma is compressing nerve root which leads to pain. I just want to rule out that whether pain is due to mechanical cause or due to tumor itself as some times these pains may overlap. Pain of chondrosarcoma is Deep and dull.Pain usually occurs at night. Nerve pain can feel like mildly bothersome pins and needles. For others, the pain may be severe and nearly unbearable. Although you know that pain of sarcoma is different than nerve compression even then I will advise you to remain in-touch with your doctor, because he/she may advise you further biopsy, X-ray,Computed tomography scan or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depending upon physical examination. I hope you have get your answer. Thanks. Dr.Singh.

You are intelligent enough to understand characteristic of pain my friend. I have met very few patients who intelligent are like you. You have burning pain which may suggest nerve compression. I am happy that you agree that what is necessary is a proper study to rule out any type of lesion or mass which may be causing the pressure. Main thing is that if it is possible to do investigation in detail then why to lose this opportunity. This is for your benefit only. Still, I would like to say that, there is a necessity to do further investigation. As if your investigations prove the cause of pain is nerve compression then your treatment will be very simple including painkiller+muscle relaxant. Although you know that pain of sarcoma is different than nerve compression even then, I will advise you to remain in-touch with your doctor. I am here to guide you for your better health.
