What Is The Remedy For The Pain In The Upper Thighs And In The Groin?
Hi, My name is Renee. I am a 50 year old female. I have pain in both of my upper thighs, in the groin area where the top of my legs meet my torso. The pain is like knives stabbing into my groins. It started about a year ago and has gotten progressively worse to the point I am in agony especially when sitting. I have also got a band of burning numbness along the top of my left thigh that developed about a month ago. This was all presceded by me noticing that when I try to put my legs apart like to climb onto my horse or a 4 wheeler I can hardly do it. Or if I am lying on my back I can't let my knees fall to the sides it's too painful. I work 12 hour night shifts and I am on my feet constantly and sometimes wsnt to cry the pain is so severe but when I sit it becomes almost unbearable. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks
hi Renee. Going by your description it appears that you are probably suffering from hip arthritis. I would recommend pain killers and X Rays of pelvis and hips, to assess the hip joint.
