Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
thanks for using healthcaremagic. I think you might be having nerve compression in the groin giving rise to this condition. I would recommend you to show it to a neurologist. Most probably your symptoms will improve after taking Pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet. If there is increase in thigh pain than doctor may ask you to get a MRI or EMG/ NCV testing to find out the site of nerve compression.
Thanks.
