What are the causes of thigh pain?

Thigh pain may be related to acute muscle strain, chronic muscle strain, sciatica, fractures, osteoarthritis, etc.

Acute muscle strain

Acute muscle strain usually occurs during strenuous exercise or sudden exertion, such as running starts, jumping landing instability, etc. This strain can cause tearing of thigh muscle fibers, causing immediate severe pain and swelling.

Chronic muscle strain

Chronic repetitive exercise or poor posture may result in chronic strain of the thigh muscles. The pain may gradually increase, accompanied by muscle stiffness and tenderness, which may be relieved with rest.

Sciatica

Sciatica is one of the common causes of thigh pain, usually caused by a herniated lumbar disc or compression of the sciatic nerve. Pain may radiate from the hip to the back of the thigh, or even the outside of the calf, accompanied by numbness and tingling.

Fracture of the thigh, especially the femur fracture, can cause severe pain, swelling and dysfunction. This injury is more common in traffic accidents, falls and other serious injuries

. Osteoarthritis Although osteoarthritis is more

common in the knee joint, osteoarthritis of the thigh joint (such as the hip joint) may also cause thigh pain, especially when walking or weight-bearing.
