Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, there are many causes of pain but likey in your case it may be metastatic disease may be. you need to get your X-rays of the join and get your thigh examined to rule out mets.
OTC medicines like acetaminophen may not help you relieve your pain so i would also recommend you to visit pain clinic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
