What Causes Pain In Thigh While Walking In Elderly?
I am 57 years old and had a total hysterectomy 22 years ago. Have heavy feeling below my stitches from the hysterectomy and more pain when I walk on my lower right just above my right thigh. No pain when I press. I do walk on my treadmill 0.50 miles in the morning at an incline. thanks,

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.
The symptoms you're describing can be a simple ligament pull which could have occurred due to various reasons.
You should take symptomatic treatment initially, like local pain gels and a pain killer if you don't have conditions that contraindicate the same.
If you can feel something like hot and lumpy at or around the place of discomfort, you should attend your GP.
