About the Symptom
It describes any painful sensation in the thigh area between the hip and knee. It may be pressing, sharp, burning, or dull.
When to See a Doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
- Lower leg edema
- Swelling of the affected area
- Back pain
- Low back pain
- Numbness / sensory disorder
- Edema
Possible Causes
Generally, Thigh pain can be related to:
- Piriformis Syndrome
The sciatic nerve is responsible for muscle control and sensation of the leg. Sometimes, it can be compressed by the piriformis muscle in the buttocks. This can result in symptoms that are often similar to a slipped disc or nerve compression in the spine.
- Lumbar Vertebrae Disk Herniation
Also known as a slipped disc, this condition is characterized by injury to the cushioning discs between the spinal bones in the lower back (lumbar vertabrae) that causes the disc to bulge outward or rupture. The disc bulge puts pressure on adjacent nerves, which causes pain, leg weakness, or numbness. Poor posture, exercising with incorrect form, or occasionally benign non-lifting movement are some possible causes of this disorder.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
A condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually affecting the legs. The blood clot impairs blood circulation. Sometimes, the clots can dislodge and travel to an artery in your lung, which is a medical emergency.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
- Myalgia (Muscle Pain)
- Spinal Canal Stenosis
- Neuropathic Pain
Related Serious Diseases
Sometimes, Thigh pain may be related to these serious diseases:
- Decompression Sickness
Decompression sickness (also called "the bends") refers to problems caused by a rapid decrease in surrounding pressure (either air or water). This causes gases to dangerously shift out of the bloodstream. It most commonly occurs during scuba diving when surfacing too quickly. Rarely, it can happen in airplanes, typically in military pilots traveling at high speeds through upper and lower atmosphere layers.
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)
- Cellulitis / Erysipelas
Doctor's Diagnostic Questions
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this symptom:
- Are you experiencing pain in your thigh?
- When did you first start experiencing thigh pain?
- Which of the following best describes how your thigh pain appeared?
- How often do you experience thigh pain?
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how severe was your thigh pain at its worst?
