Why Do I Have Severe Leg Pain Upon Waking?

51 yo female - I have severe leg pain upon waking. I can t move my right leg or hip and have to massage the top of my thigh for minutes just to force my leg to hang over the side of the bed. My left leg is fine. I cannot get out of bed quickly and cannot walk with my right leg without a walker or cane. In 1-2 hours the pain often subsides, with just severe pain at the top of my right thigh and hip. I also have a rash with pustules that look like chicken pox behind my right knee. Rheumatology ran every blood test imaginable and all looks good.

Hello,

When did the pain start? Where does it radiate? Have you hurt that leg before? Do you have other signs like: tingling sensation, numbness? Is it constant? Do you feel a blockage in the knee or hip in the morning that lasts 20 minutes? Does rest make it better? I suggest you to visit an orthoped to see if you have problems with the coxofemoral region or the knee. You may need to do a lumbar x-ray or a knee x-ray. But first better visit an orthoped.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Emilda Belortaja
