hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history.

As the history suggest me there is a nerve root impingement in the lumbar spine leading to discomfort in the thigh muscles.

as there will be inflammation in the lumbar spine so the symptoms are arised. As this can be controlled by strengthening the muscles of the lumbar spine. Undergoing physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will help reduce the pain and inflammation. Exercise is needed to strengthen the core and spinal muscles to stabilize the anatomical position of the bones in the lumbar spine and avoid recurrency.
