Suggest Treatment For Pain In Right Thigh And Groin
Hi . I am a 40 year old female. 2 days ago i began to have sore/tenderness to the inside of my right thigh. It moved down to my knee and onto my foot. It also traveled to right side of my genital area. Its now 2 days later and the genital area feels raw and painful to touch. I see no abrasion or cuts. What could be causing this discomfort?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As the pain is radiating in nature and there are no abrasions and cuts a thorough neuromuscular assessment and musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
Post which we can conclude as the pain is due to which factor as well.
Usually such radiating pain nature is possibly due to pinched nerve in the lumbar spine for which a clinical assessment can help along with the assistance of the MRI scan an exact soft tissue status is understood.
Undergoing physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will help reduce the pain. followed by which performing exercises so strengthen the weaker muscles will help stabilize the joints and reduce the pain levels.
In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy and near normal functionality is achieved soon.
