Pain And Pressure In The Thigh. What Is It?

hi for 4 months know i have been having pain in my front thigh and back thigh area in my left leg, only sometimes the pain shoots up and down my thigh,but most times it stays stationary, in the early stages i would feel so much pain when walking upstairs especially and general walking when i put pressure on my leg,i show no other symptoms i went to my Dr he gave me pain killers ibufron which did nt seem to help much.although the pain is not as bad as when it started its been 4 months and iam still suffering i fear the pain will come back with full force as when originally it started,please could you advice me 4 months is too long to have a constant nagging pain

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem and you are very right that 4 months is very long period If I would be your doctor then I would definitely think for some investigation because giving symptomatic medicine will not be helpful to you on the contrary this will masking the picture so in my opinion some work has to be done instead of treating it on symptomatic basis hope you can understand it have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
