This is just weird, but hoping someone has heard of this.
About 3 weeks ago, I got this excruciating pain in my thigh. IT was more located on the top of the thigh, the quad muscle, and then in the groin area.
Now I had an appointment with my Hip Dr, and he said, "OH it's your hip...nothing you can do.
Well, since that appointment, the pain got further down on top of my thigh, and that is the quad muscle. SO, it's excruciating, I can barely walk with the cane, and in severe pain. My pain management PA, put me on an Anti=Inflammatory, and I've been icing it, and taking my pain pills that i'm already on, but nothing touches this pain.
I've also used my Lipoderm patches, icy hot, muscle relaxer, but NOTHING touches this pain, and helps it.
So, what do I do???? I am thinking, go to my regular dr, and see if they can order an MRI? Or could I have sprained or pulled my quad muscle? I went on WEB MD, and that is a possibility, and they list there, all the things i'm doing to try to alleviate the pain.
Its just not letting up!!
HELP!!!!

I hope you can get some relief soon dear.
This is a stretch but since your saying none of the usual things are helping the pain, could you have a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) in that leg? They usually cause incredible pain. Is your leg warm to touch, or redder than the other leg?
I agree that you should go to your Dr. and get it scanned so you can see what's going on. Normally pulled muscles don't hurt as much as your saying, and they respond to ice/heat and rest.

So i am not sure but could be you have something similar going on between your L4 and L5 and S1 like me? Definately get an MRI!
I apologize, i dont know much about your medical conditions, but are you on blood thinners or statins? Have you used an antibiotic recently like Levaquin or any other quinolone type antibiotic?
I just suggest you have the soft tissue of your leg checked. I have a friend here on DS with a torn calf muscle who almost had to have surgery for it and they expect it to take months to heal. Is it possible you could have pulled the muscle?
hugs and know I just want to help!!!
