What Would Cause Intermittent Sharp Very Painful Burning Pain In A Spot Inside Of Upper Thigh?
Possible diagnosis: Peripheral neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Sharp burning pain on the inside of upper thigh is likely neuropathic pain affecting the femoral nerve. There can be several causes like diabetes, hypothyroidism, vitamin B12 deficiency, nerve entrapment, underlying hematoma(especially if you are on anticoagulants/antiplatelets) etc.
A detailed physical examination, nerve conduction study, and ultrasound of the upper thigh (if needed), blood sugar and vitamin B12 levels, thyroid function test are recommended at this point. So, please be advised to follow up with your primary provider.
Meanwhile, you can take Tylenol for pain. You can also apply capsaicin cream on the affected area for pain relief.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Hello again,
Given tumour history of femoral artery access, hematoma formation is a definite consideration.
You need to undergo evaluation by thoracic surgeon/primary provider at the earliest.
