Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Inner Thigh With Few Varicose Vein

I am experiencing pain in my left inner thigh area. I exercise regularly 5-6 days a week and thought his was general muscle soreness. I ve noticed for the past ten days but not on a consistent basis, the pain presents when rising from a seated position. Today when my thigh began to hurt I rubbed the area which seemed to make the pain worse and increased the area of soreness. I do have spider veins in the outer calf area of this leg but no varicose veins. On my right leg, behind the knee area is where I do have one or two varicose veins. I also have hypertension controlled by medication. Just want your opinion if I this potentially is a blood clot and emergent or if I could wait until morning and contact my primary care physician? There is no redness or bruising at the site of soreness.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As the pain is in the thigh region it needs a thorough neuromuscular assessment. Certain times the Pinched nerve in the spine gets mixed up with varicose veins symptoms for which a thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed to differentiate the actual cause.

Also, as you are having few varicose veins a thorough examination and diagnostic Doppler scan will help to understand the pathology of the same.

After a Neuromuscular assessment may be an MRI is guided to see possible pinch nerve in the lumbar spine as the symptoms follow downwards the nerve supply.

Undergoing a guided and accurate physical therapy should give possible cent percent recovery.

Also, ageing is a factor and chance for the ageing of spine is suspected. After a thorough examination the possible diagnosis will be made and treatment will be guided towards physical therapy to improve the metabolism and ADL's
