What Causes Pain In The Thighs?

Hi I was wondering if you can tell me what would cause my upper thighs to have so much pain since I did not do anything to cause this and they hurt when I touch them on the outer side of my thighs also to the point where I had tears in my eyes when my dog jumped on me on my leg and I screamed so loud. thank you Karen

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

How old are you ?? Are you male or female??
since when you're suffering from??
Any associated problems??
Possible causes are hypokalemia, arthritis, iliotibial tract contracture, viral fever with myalgia or poly myositis or polymyalgia etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Need thyroid profile and inflammatory profile to know secondary to inflammation.
Use hot and cold compression use pain killer medication.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
