Can Thigh Pain Be Related To Back Pain?
I recently had spasms in my lower back that caused pain in my thigh, front side. I took muscle relaxers and the back pain subsided. I now have really bad pain in the front of my thigh that is extremely painful to touch. The pain keeps me awake at night. Is this related to the back pain or something else.

Hello
I have studied your case
Due to compresion of nerve root in back there can be radicular pain in your thigh.
I will advise to do MRI spine to see for disc bulge.
Neurotropic medication can help to reduce symptoms.
Physiotherapy will help to get pain relief.
Wish you good health
Take care.
