Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Upper Leg

I have had a pain in my upper right leg since Tuesday and its moving from my Quad to my knee and up to my groin.I have been to a physio Today and he thought it was my gracilis muscle and then he thought it was a slight tear in my hamstring.I nearly jumped through the roof when he was working at it but when he was finished he asked me to walk across the floor I started to get a severe pain above my knee.He then manipulated my knee and I had instant relief.It eased for a while but I am back to square one as this pain is shooting all over my upper leg.Please advise

Hello,

I have studied your case.
There is possibility of muscle partial tear or associated muscle sprain.

You can take ice fomentation, rest, compression and see for relief.
You can take analgesic available with you.

If no relief then you need to consult your doctor, he may advise x ray, ultrasound or MRI.

Passive Stretching your leg muscles may help.
Take diet rich in calcium and potassium.
Check your vit B12 and Vit D 3 levels.

You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
