Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am experiencing pins and needles sensation and numbness on my right thigh (outer side). I have started going to a gym since a week. I am also taking injections of arachitol and vitcofol on the thighs. What could be the cause of this pain and can I continue going to the gym and taking my injections. I am 30 years old female and my height is 5 6 and weight is 82 kg.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query.
pins and needles sensation and numbness,tingling in the thigh can be referred from the spine, the hip joint or from the bone and muscle in the thigh itself. A physical examination would indicate to a physician the likely site of the pain which could be further investigated with X-rays of your spine, hip and femur.
The nature of your pain suggests to me that this is more likely a hip joint or thigh muscle problem. If the pain is coming from your hip joint the most common diagnosis at your age would be osteoarthritis of the hip joint. A strain of the quadriceps muscle can also cause such pain, which will likely improve over a period of 2-3 weeks.
Antiinflammatory medciation, physiotherapy, massage may help your symptoms in the interim.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
