Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood the concerns.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Where exactly is the pain in the upper thigh? Inside on front, lateral or back part?
Is the pain in the same area where you had fired the nail-gun?
Any swelling, redness, itching?
Any fever or body ache?
Is walking or any movement painful?
