What Causes Pain From The Groin To The Knees?
I have seen a hip surgeon and evetually I will need a hip replacement. I have pain from groin down to my knee and on the top side of my thigh which seems like a pulled muscle at times. I am taking medicine Dr prescribed for inflammation, what can I do about the thigh pain, will heat or ice help with this? I have a hard time lifting my leg to put on my pants with out it hurting. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello,
As per your history, it may be nerve compression at lumbar region.
for that kindly do MRI back, nerve conduction study.
You can take tab, tylenol, tab. pregabalin. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment with heating pads.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
