Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your husband is having pressure sore which is on right thigh. You want what we can do to it for pain. I think you can use for him a air bed or water bed . For pain relief analgesic such as ibuprofen can be used. If pain is more then analgesic such as tramadol can be used. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
