Suggest Treatment For Shooting Pain On The Thighs
I have shooting pain on the upper part of left thigh which travels zig-zag, for about 30 seconds and vanishes when I massage my hip at the front and back. I want the causes and remedies. Though I am 71, I do a lot of exercises like arobics, asanas, free stile streching exercises and walking. I am lean weighing 59 kegs. And enjoy perfect health.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
I have an understanding from your statements in the history that you may have the lumbar disc degenerative disease. Now this is because, your age is 71 , and at this age the possibility of the degenerative changes in the body is always high. Also, while you are already into the multiple fitness training regimen, that shows how active you are how troubling this pain factor is. But the nature of the pain is shooting and also on the thigh region, relieved with rest and more on activity. Undergoing an MRI of the lumbar spine can help further to understand the soft tissues. Also, for time being stopping the fitness training will help further.
Usually, people performing aerobics, yoga , stretching etc develops at certain stage the lumbar spine degenerative disease, which can be controlled by proper physical therapy and precision of exercises as well.
My personal clinical experience have been seeing many cases and treated almost 99% with 100% success rate. I am sure you will also recover soon.
