What Causes Pain In The Thigh When I Stand Up?

After sitting (a few minutes or more in a chair) I get a stabbing pain in my right front thigh when I stand up. I can make it less painful if I rub thigh deeply before trying to stand up, but is still often painful to walk. The pain comes and goes when walking. Thank-you.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of lumbar [back] nerve root there can be pain in your front thigh.

I will advise you to do MRI whole spine with hip screening.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin with methylcobalamine can be started consulting your doctor.

Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support of back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
