What Causes Severe Upper Thigh Pain When Having Arthritis, TOS, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes Type-2?

Hello, My name is Betty and I really need help. I have had upper thigh pain (top of my legs) for several months and the pain doc I see can t seem to find a cause. I have had an MRI of back, hip x-rays, and blood test. The pain is sever when I must step up on a stool or getting into a car. also I cannot get off the floor without help because of the pain and lack of strength. I m having some problems with walking specially especially if I must walk up a little incline. The pain has been getting worse as it now even hurts when I sit. It is also painful whenever I get up from a chair. I do have some arthritis in my low back and neck , TOS, fibromyalgia, and type two diabetes. This is having a big impact on my life. Would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you
