What Causes Intermittent Sharp Pain In The Upper Thigh?
A few weeks ago I started getting a sharp pain (7) in my right upper thigh occasionally. The pain would come on if I was sitting or standing or walking, there didn t seem to be anything in particular that would cause the very sharp pain. Now it s developed into a constant pain of much less pain level (3). This is not related to any injury that I m aware of or a muscle strain. I can push on the area but not able to cause the pain to increase.
