What Causes Pain On The Inner Thigh?

The inside of my thighs hurt and it hurts worse if you touch the inside of the thigh. It s a straight line from upper thigh to knee. I am 58, and take Atenolol 25mg once a day for high blood pressure. The only other medicine I take is Activella 0.5-0.1 mg for hormone replacement.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Since there is pain from upper thigh to the knee in a straight line on the inner aspect of the thigh the most probable cause I can think about is a muscle strain, particularly the gracilis and hamstring muscles.
This usually occurs in people who run or walk fast, or while turning at corners in a fast way and so on.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult a General OR Orthopedic Surgeon for a clinical examination so that clinical diagnosis and proper management is done.
If required he would advise you X-rays and MRI for support to the diagnosis.
Take rest, do not strain the already painful area.
Take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
