Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Thighs

My husband has thigh tightness and swelling just in one leg and just in thigh area. There is not a lot of pain but a lot of discomfort. He has paid attention and does not use this one leg more than the other. This has gone on for well over a year and has been mentioned to our family doctor. He has advised ice therapy and extra strength Tylenol. Why doesn t this just go away. My husband is in his mid fifties. If you have any other suggestions, we would be most grateful.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain and swelling over your thigh seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Warm Regards.
