Two Ignored causes of thigh pain.

 

Pinched Spinal Nerve

Thigh pain may be caused by a pinched spinal nerve. Herniated lumbar discs or low back arthritis may pinch on the nerves that exit your spinal column and travel down your thigh.1

Symptoms of a pinched nerve may include:

• Pain in the front or back of your thigh
• Numbness or tingling in your thigh
• Weakness in your thigh muscles
• Difficulty sitting or rising from sitting

Pinched nerves typically cause thigh pain that changes depending on your spine's position, so this can be a clue to your doctor that your low back is actually causing your thigh pain.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a condition where your spinal nerves are compressed by the bony anatomy of your spine.

Symptoms of stenosis include:

• Pain in both thighs and legs
• Numb and heavy feelings in your thighs

The pain from spinal stenosis is typically felt in both legs at the same time. Symptoms are made worse with standing, walking and almost immediately relieved with sitting.
