Pain In Upper Thigh, Pressure In Legs. X Rays, Bone Density Done. Remedy?
I have been having pain in my upper right thigh, seems like in the bone . my leg gives out when I put pressure on it but once I walk a bit seems to help. I also have to be careful going up and down stairs because I don't know when my leg will give out. I also can not open my leg out, it seems to be locked at a certain point. it has been bothering me for years now. I am 59 and have had bone densitiy done and x rays . thank you betty

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
the pain in the thigh with a sensation of giving up can be due to a ligament tear in the hip joint or a muscular weakness in the area due to nerve compression at the level of spine.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
