i have radiating nerve pain on my front upper thigh like a sciatic pain. my thigh is tender to the touch.?

Question

i am female 51 yrs old , employed doing physical work

Answer 1

do you also have back pain?

try a nerve loosening exercise to loosen the sciatic nerve that runs down the back of the thigh.......alternate single leg raises, followed by a hold might help.

if it continues, see a doctor or a physio.

Answer 2

Work with a chiropractor to get the nerve to not be pinched.
And a massage therapist to help get the knots out of the muscles.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 3

This can be sciatica. Try NSAIDS for a week or two taking them on a schedule not as needed. If that doesn't fix things, see the doctor. I've had similar problem with pain in the hip, back of leg, going around knee, through thigh, and into foot and it's a lumbar nerve problem. Good luck.

Answer 4

I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment https://healthy.im/stop-sciatica-now
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication

I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.

I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.

Answer 6

Could be contractions or like you mentioned it could be the baby moving around and hitting a nerve. But some women labor in their legs and thighs. Just to be cautious I think I would call my OB and see about coming in for a quick exam to make sure your not in labor. Rather be safe than sorry! Good Luck!

Answer 7

First, see a dr. to find out what exactly is wrong. If no treatment will help your pain, look into self-hypnosis. Pain clinics use it a lot. It is not as scary as you think. a bookstore will have audio cassettes or CDs that you will need. Tapes by Barry Konicev have helped me a lot. But you might find something that appeals to you more. Everyone is not the same. One tape is usually all you need. Best wishes.
