Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have upper leg pain after taking Lupron . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury , fracture or hematoma or condition like sciatica . The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of medicine you are taking. I would suggest you to keep icing on thigh , keep your leg elevated , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult general surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan x-ray or physical examination . Doctor may drain hematoma and prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to dermatologist for allergic reaction of infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
