Suggest Treatment For Severe Thigh And Hip Pain

I have pain in my right upper thigh, down the front from hip area to just above the knee and also down the outside of same thigh. I ve had this occurance, which also caused a fall in which I broke the right hip in May, since about March . My hip has healed (partial replacement), but the thigh is again giving me problems. I have spoken to my doctors about this, and thinking about the orthopedic doctor taking a look. Would this be the right solution to the problem.

Hello,

It could be due to conditions like sciatica.

As of now you can take drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
