Pain in right leg from thigh
Good morning doc.
I m postmenopausal with pain in right thigh and leg.
The pain is throughout right leg,aggravated at times,so that I can't bear it.
It's like pain in nerves .
Sometimes associated with weakness in legs.
No history of trauma, morning stiffness or any relationship with the amount of limb use and pain.
I do my routine chores.
I was prescribed pregabalin and allopurinol but no relief though.
Pain get relieved a little bit by diclofenac gel and hot compresses, but only for little time,again the same cycle continues.

Does the pain originate in the back?
Do you also have numbness in your leg?
Are you taking Allopurinol for gout or hyperuricaemia?
A diagnosis has to be made first.
Next Steps
Consult a Orthopaedic surgeon.
