What Causes Right Hip And Upper Leg Pain?
I have had right hip and upper leg pain for months that doctors have not determined the cause. A chiroprator feels it is L4 herniated disc and possibly L5 but the pain isnt all the way down to my foot. I have trouble getting up from sitting position and if I squat I need to hold onto something to get back up or need to do it very slowly to prevent alot of pain. Last night I noticed that the shin bone on this leg seems to be right at the surface whereas the left leg has some muscle covering it. Is my leg atrophying? what would be the cause of my pain? I often limp due to pain in the right hip or leg.

hi
you may consult a spine doctor for an MRI scan of back/xrays of hip etc.This should be treated with medicines after diagnosis.In meanwhile do physical therapy of leg and hip and back, fomentation,massage,exercises.see a neurologist also if necessary.Wear a back brace and apply muscle relaxant gels and nerve medicines like methycobalamin, neurobion forte plus
thanks
