Suggest Treatment For Pain In Hip And Thigh Radiating To Foot
I have inflammatory arthritis and ake steroids,methotrexate and plaquinal. I am having pain in my left hip, thigh and it radiates to my foot. On the pain scale I would say 9. It is very difficult to walk. What do you think is going on. The pain is also in my groin at times. Even when I am not weight bearing I have throbbing in my hip and leg

Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
You seem to be medication treating Rheumatoid arthritis.
The pain radiating to your thighs and legs could be due to a slipped disc in your lower back causing pinching of the nerve.
Avoid bending forwards or letting heavy weights. Kindly consult ab Orthopaedic surgeon in this regard for the proper diagnosis and treatment.
Thanking you.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu
