Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Pain On The Upper Left Leg
I m a 68 year old male, military veteran of 20 years. For the last several months I have been having muscle pain on my upper left leg ( between my hip and knee). After sitting down for a period of time I have to stand for a minute or so before walking. I ve used heat creams, hitting pads and iboprofen for temporary relieve. What seems to be the problem?
