Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In The Left Thigh
I had a giant intramuscular lipoma removed from my left thigh in November. All was well until lately when pain is returning (pins and needles/stabbing sensation). The tightness has returned and movement is restricted. For example, the other day I tried to climb over a bleacher step with my left leg and was unable to do so. I am a 66 year old female and lead an active life. Any ideas? I don t see my surgeon until the end of June. (He is a renowned orthopedic oncologist)

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcare magic
I read your question and understood your concern.
It may be a recurrence of the primary disease that is compressing the nerve or it might be an hematoma ( blood collection) .
I would recommend you to do ultrasound and MRI of the region and EMG to check the nerve.
I wish you quick recovery.
