Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in thigh radiating down leg . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but radiating pain and tingling are suggestive of neuronal symptoms and due to the compression(in the lower spine). I suggest you to get an X ray and CT of the lumbo-sacral spine , blood for fasting sugar, calcium, vitD3 and meet a neurologist . I would like to suggest doppler study . Doctor may recommend avoiding bending, heavy weight lifting , physiotherapy like ankle drill, quadriceps etc , prescribe aceclofenac thiocolchicoside combination for 7days , pregabalin-mecobalamin combination . For now apply warm compresses to lower back and leg .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
