How To Treat Vibrating Right Thigh Muscle?

Since yesterday I have a frequently a vibrating sensation in my right thigh muscle lasting about 1 second. Sometimes they are longer gaps in between this sensation, even minutes or a few hours and then only seconds. I am a 66 male, fit, non-smoker, non- drinker but due for a right-side hip replacement.

Hi,

It is unlikely to be due to to fracture of femur.kindly get a neurologist opinion. This treatment is being suggested on bases of the information provided. However, I would like to examine & investigate the patient in detail. Control hypertension, diabetes or any other metabolic disorder, if there is any.

Any way it may be tried:
- Dolokind Plus (Mankind) [Aceclofenac + Paracetamol] 1 tablet OD & SOS for 5 days.
- Caldikind plus (Mankind) 1 tablet OD for 10 days. (You may need help of your local doctor to get these medicines.)
- Fomentation with warm water. Let the part not be exposed to cold air.
- Sleep on a hard bed with soft bedding.
- Use no pillow under the head.
- Avoid painful acts & activities.
- Do mild exercises for neck and shoulders and hips and knees and ankles. (Take help of a physiotherapist.)
- Do not ignore, let it not become beginning of a major problem.
- Do ask for a detailed treatment plan.
- Make sure, there is no allergy to any of these medicines.
- For emergency treatment visit nearest hospital.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
